The only event to push price down, would be if they put an end to futures contracts
No, it all doesn't add up. There is a queue of 'bad events' waiting to unfold...The only event to push price down, would be if they put an end to futures contracts, and this is unlikely, I'd say over 170 by December -
speaking of socks, I know someone who drank a pint of guinness through a smelly sock at a rugby do..
Now try and imagine sixty million golf balls.I'd recommend to everyone to read this book (the draft is online). It gives the numbers behind our energy consumption and the potential for switching to renewable. It's very enlightening.
BTW Pages 166 - 187 cover nuclear. I liked this example (just to pick one) "A French citizen’s lifetime share of high-level waste is the size of a golfball. "

Oil down to $105 dollars a barrel today. Maybe this thread should be renamed.
When oil peaked at $147 dollars the price at the pump in Cork was 136.9.
Now with oil at $105 dollars the price at the pump in Cork is (average) 128.9
I was in Athlone last weekend (before the international price falls yesterday and today) and the average price up the country was 122.9
With TESCO having no petrol stations in Cork I think we are suffering.
Isn't there something regarding the slump in sterling still keeping the wholesale price of oil high. Hence why we are not seeing the efects of the large drops at the pumps.......
Can someone confirm or deny this?
Oil down to $101 today and still the price at the pumps remain stubbornly high.
Oil has dropped by almost a thrid on International markets and yet the price at the pumps has dropped by a single digit percentage.
You can argue dollar rises or fall or blame Nora but the fact is, we are being totally RIPPED OFF.
When crude goes up, the forecourt prices are up before the end of the day.
A very sweeping statement, imho.
Oil down to $98 a barrel today. Still paying 126.9 cent a litre for petrol in Cork City.
When oil was €147 a barrel I was paying 136.9 cent a litre in Cork City.
Any forecourt owners on this site who can explain this?
