No way this is true? |

No. They are clueless. There is a physical limit to how much can be released. If you say you will release 100 barrels and the plumping only allows one barrel a day to be released it will take 100 days to release the oil. The world is running a 16-17 million barrel a day deficit. The release is too little. Word is Israel’s attack on Iranian oil infrastructure destroyed Iran’s oil production. This is 3.3-3.6 million barrels a day. That is the same or a little higher vs the pre war world oil surplus. The surplus was why oil was at $58 a barrel pre war. If this is true(Iranian oil infrastructure damaged) prices will remain high after the war is over for a year or two. Demand will exceed surplus. |

Looked this up and it seems like it expired in 2014. So true but false. |

From the Reuters article I found from 2014, it says that a new agreement was being worked on after it had expired. But I don't know if it was ever signed since I can't find any reference to a current agreement. Also, the article states that the agreement says that the US will provide oil to Israel "provided it has enough oil for its own use". https://www.reuters.com/article/world/us-politics/us-government-working-to-renew-oil-agreement-with-israel-idUSKCN0J92EP/ https://www.reuters.com/article/world/us-politics/us-government-working-to-renew-oil-agreement-with-israel-idUSKCN0J92EP/ |

| I know this thread is for oil and gas, but we should also be thinking about the impact on petroleum derivatives. Primarily, plastics. A short supply would be devastating. As much as we all hate it and how terrible it is for the environment, we are entirely reliant on it. Anything from shampoo bottles to syringes. |

JPM just advised investors to short the market, except gas and oil, until the Straits are opened again.

Another reason to go solar, and allow personal solar panels. This war clearly shows how the reliance on oil can create havoc for countries. Other countries have realized this and so are trying to wean themselves off on the reliance on oil. Not the US, though. We're controlled by oil barons and billionaires, and the likes of the Trumps who are getting rich off the war.

Expect higher food prices, too, due to diesel prices going up. Truckers and farmers are being hit.

It does. But hopefully it creates some pressure on Trump to end this war. A big part of MAGA lives in rural and small town America and drive enormous distances every day. And they’re not driving EVs. MAGA is feeling these prices more than anyone else is. It’s very expensive driving a lifted pick up truck every day. |
