DooDiligence Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I really like the humor here - to me, it is like Danish humor! - Please remember the humor also when everything is tanking! [, which it eventually will - at some time in the future - perhaps already on monday.] Buying opportunities mmmmmmmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, totally! Why would anyone care about desertification?

Oil is already very cheap You ignore potential environmental externalities This will delay investment into less-invasive energy production, especially solar energy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooDiligence Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Looks like we want to help China secure an alternate source that doesn't rely on ocean transport. Is this a stick we'll use to threaten the Saudis which we'll eventually try to hide behind our backs (maybe I'm trying too hard & it's just a naked grab at cash...) Or maybe it's really an altruistic attempt to build good relations with Russia & China & at the same time keep the ME down (can that be considered altruistic?) Someone needs to sort out my insanitideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an evil monster! The world will have access to more energy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're all going to die!!!!! Oil is already very cheap You ignore potential environmental externalities This will delay investment into less-invasive energy production, especially solar energy Companies investing in solar energy research will stop if Exxon Mobil continues to explore for oil? Musk is going to throw up his hands and shut down Solarcity, throw a gas engine in the Model S, and convert all his super charger stations to Mobile stations? The price of solar has been reduced massively in the last few years (I think I read somewhere the price has dropped 80% in the last 6 years). If the price keeps coming down at that rate, or even a quarter of that rate, solar will do just fine without stopping XOM from looking for oil.

PV is now close to the cost of coal, still more expensive than natural gas. But it probably won't be long before PV is cheaper than gas.Power_Plant_Costs.tiffPrice_history_of_PV.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
