It's only cheaper while it's there.... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: 19 October 2010 09:44 To: ProFox Email List Subject: Re: [OT] About energy
Price breaks and subsidies have nothing to do with the price of oil. Oil prices are set on a commodities exchange. Subsidies only make Exxon more profitable, but it doesn't do a thing to change the price of oil. OPEC keeps the price of oil high while there is plenty of oil to go around. They purposely keep oil in the ground to keep the price high. Even after OPEC has artificially inflated oil prices, IT IS STILL CHEAPER THAN SOLAR. --- On Mon, 10/18/10, Fred Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Fred Taylor <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [OT] About energy > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Monday, October 18, 2010, 11:16 PM And you think Big Oil doesn't > get subsidies and tax breaks? > > http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/04/business/04bptax.html > > Fred > > > > On Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 6:31 PM, Michael Madigan > <[email protected]> > wrote: > > He's a total loon > > > > Oil is a commodity, it's value is determined on a > commodities exchange and is subject to speculation, its price has > nothing to do with subsidies.
