Replying to: gagrice (Nov 12, 2008 9:20 am)  I think if the job is offered AND Gore actually takes the job, it will be like St Patties day in Chicago, we are ALL IRISH (aka genuflect at the mere words: global warming)  Carbon credits issued for ceremonial stake burning of non believers. Much has been made about how much Obama OWES the various factions that got him elected. If one looks at the popular vote, his (election) presidency is FAR from a mandate from the "peoples" I would tend to see his "SLIGHT" majority as more of an anti BUSH, Palin loathing, etc., rather than whole hearted endorsement of his seemingly flip flop here to fore secret policies. The major advantage is almost EVERYONE is now in his party. So in effect, it is HIS to command. This was hardly so when a Repub was in the executive office against a house and senate that were primarily democratic. If you look at the electoral college vote, the old politics(aka back room cigar smoke deals) then YES. It will be interesting to see how he puts together his "machine"

Replying to: ruking1 (Nov 12, 2008 9:34 am) He did this at the beginning of his 8 year presidency, So this has been going on for at least 16 years!!! Who are the major customers? aka the Kyoto signers?  Warren Buffet ( investor that he is) long ago bought BIG stakes in TRAINS (this is all common knowledge). How are trains and coal related? Far and away the BIGGEST train customers are the COAL industries, oil, gas and followed by the commodities such as grains, etc.... If it were left to the "heavier" duty manufacturing (washing machines, etc,) trains would have folded LONG ago. Train companies have long been on the public dole. |

Replying to: steve_ (Nov 12, 2008 1:40 pm) Indeed it could drop below 50 literally overnight! Bloomberg has dated Brent spot  51.22 link title If I am off topic I will stop. But in the meantime, let me put something out there. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in TALL cotton with per barrel prices 147, what would you think is happening when the price you get is now -66% ? Keep in mind it (the price drop) has NOT triggered more demand !!! Indeed it has triggered DECREASED demand. Funny how that reality shoots holes in the liberal notion that the ONLY way to get down oil consumption is to raise prices!!?? Indeed have the auto unions ever struck to make management make cars American consumers will actually buy?
