Gas Prices Drop-Massive Profits-Opec monopolies

Retired Marine

Last comment by sebekm 1 year, 11 months ago.

Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal was calling for the prices to drop to keep us infadels on the hook, And he appears to be succesful. When is America and europe going to learn and accelerate efforts to find alternative fuels?

WTOC story on gas prices,below.
"The average retail gasoline price in Savannah dropped 6.3 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.54 per gallon on Sunday, according to SavannahGasPrices.com. The national average dropped only 0.8 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.77 per gallon.

Including the change in gas prices in Savannah during the past week, prices Sunday were $1.02 per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 31.0 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 17.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands $1.04 per gallon higher than the same day a year ago."

Greed drives the Saudi's, Oil Companies, and our current mode of fueling our systems, we have had the technology to change for years, it just hasn't been refined and used. I guess this is gonna be like the 3D TV's and films as well, discovered, then put away for 60 years. Everyone keeps making RECORD profits, and they keep destroying our planet too!

I was in Savannah Sunday and the average gas price was around $3.40 so I have no idea where that $3.54 came from.

I purchased gas for $3.38 in Savannah Sunday.

That story was probably from a week or two ago.

As I watch one of the great "business" movies of our times - "Other People's Money" on Encore - I am reminded of one of the great concepts of the free enterprise system (as cited above as well): Greed.

Greed not only drives the oil companies, but it drives the great business engine which has catapulted this country to the top of the heap. So let's not forget those immortal words of Gordon Gekko:

"....."greed," for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."

To repeat something I wrote here on these pages a while back..."when history is written regarding this time it will be seen as the fossil fuel consumption-depletion era of mankind led by ineffectual leaders and a lust for greed."

That is IF history is written...cuz when Iran gets the bomb a nuclear holocaust will soon ensue as they will use it either thru Al Quaida or themselves to destroy Israel. Ahmadinajad has already stated that he intends to "wipe Israel of the face of the map in a wind of fire..."

The other scenario is a pre-emptive strike by Israel against Iran with their nukes. Either way, a nuclear exchange will soon take place and it won't be a "limited" one.

We all will end up vaporized. Liberals, Moderates, Conservatives and the Fabian Socialists.
