Oil Blows Past $100 Per Barrel - Experts Warning $200 Possible

[Robert W]

That's 28% less oil and gas they need to buy.

Nuclear plants can eliminate using oil and gas. I guess for those reasons you approve nuclear?

Yes, I do. And wind, solar, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and so on.

How about you?

When one state produces 28 percent, you know it is a small amount nationally.
You ducked the problems wind has. Do you approve many more Nuclear plants producing very long term stable energy?

Clean energy is growing worldwide.

You need to tell the leading nations in wind energy why it is not feasible

The leading nation's are:

• China: The largest producer, with an installed capacity of 328 GW, dominating nearly half of its energy needs through wind.
• United States: The second-largest producer, with an installed capacity of 137 GW, operating at 20% capacity.
• Germany: The third-largest producer, with an installed capacity of 66 GW.
• India: The fourth-largest producer, with an installed capacity of 43 GW, amounting to 10% of its energy mix.
• Spain: The fifth-largest producer, with an installed capacity of 27 GW, equating to 22% of its total energy consumption.
  
  Once the problem of nuclear waste disposal is solved, I see reactors as a viable option.

The levelized cost of electricity for solar and wind has dropped dramatically—by 90% and 72% respectively—making them more cost-competitive than nuclear in many regions. Nuclear plants require higher upfront investment, longer construction times, and complex regulatory approval, though they provide stable long-term energy output. Solar and wind costs continue to decline with technological improvements and economies of scale. ​

How about you?

I am fine with that. I am fine with the market needs filled as the market wants.

There is no nuclear waste problem.

Irrational denial seems to be your thing.

How and where is nuclear waste stored in the U.S.?

Ignorance follows you like a poodle.

Ignorance follows you like a poodle.

You just seem to spout insults, rather than offer documented truths.

If that's what makes you happy, that's unfortunate.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Over $106 as we speak.

yeah.

Call me when it gets to $200 as the OP predicts.

Meanwhile, feel free to sing the "Mah Gas!" blues:

Fo' dolla' gas, now that really makes me blue.
Yeah gas is fo dollas and it really has me blue.
Don't you know if I had a job,
I wu-unt know what do do.
