Meanwhile, we can enjoy the sound and exhaust of our diesel engines.
Yep and Amen.....

Mark,
Raise you one ... underway w 20hp.
Thanks Marin,
We so often don't see the worldly picture. We've got our foot in so many worldly pies it's hard to tell where we are and what it all means. I agree w your post above.
At our hardwood mill we make 40 tons of hardwood fuel pellets with the off fall from making hardwood flooring everyday . For the last year at least we have not been able to keep up with our demand . We are a small mill compared to most . We use 400 hp and two men to produce 40 tons in 8 hrs . It's slowed down some lately with the lower propane prices .
There is no conspiracy here. The invisible hand of the market sets prices. There is now more supply than demand. 40 million gallons is two days usage in the U.S. When the world economy picks up, not just the U.S., demand will rise and so will prices. Enjoy the price break while you can.
Exactly!
We all know that oil prices have been artificially high for decades due to OPEC limiting production.
If you think about it, its the fact that OPEC has limited production that actually made shale oil profitable in the first place.
Thats really gotta have OPEC members thinking. They caused the shale oil boom through their actions. Now, we have developed the technology, and this is the big thing, we will continue to improve it, allowing more production at lower costs.
So OPEC is in a quandry. Do they remove production quotas, and let the price settle out naturally? Or do they limit production, keeping prices higher than they naturally would be, knowing full well that US producers will be innovative and find a way to make shale oil profitable?
OPEC members are in an unenviable position, one that will in the end benefit everyone due to lower energy prices, no matter how it shakes out.
If they had listened to economists 20 years ago when they were told artificially high oil prices will lead to increased competition and alternative energy sources, they would not be in this predicament.
You're right . We are looking at robot to replace one guy . But we have decided that nobody wants to work alone all day . We have more capacity with the 400 hp mill but we need to speed up flooring mill for more waste . Flooring sales are a little slow . It's a catch 22 . You can't let the sawdust back up either .That's a lot of energy to make pellets, and a lot of wages!

News discussions: Fuel source, price – etc… post Saudi leader’s death…
It's downhill for US after Saudi king dies: Kilduff.
Just think of the extra cash you and the nation would have if the left did not nix
DRILL HERE,,, DRILL NOW!
For the past 3 decades !!
They were fracking in the 50's. First tried as an experiment in 1947. Since advent of horizontal drilling, it certainly helps increase production in a well.
Drilling & Completion - There's Power in Cooperation
I have just been hoping for the US to combined increased US oil production, development and implantation of energy efficient homes, new autos, trucks and boats with an end result that we no longer imported oil from outside the US.
