Yeah Justin. What's your plan for increasing the world-wide price of oil?

That SHOULD lower the price of oil even more if that reduces the distribution costs.
Sending a couple Billion dollars to third world countries to help them under cut our factories.
Funny that is not what trudOwe said.
You would think that it would lower supply but the truth is that it would just make the oil glut larger and amplify the problem.
Pipelines are a bad idea right now.
Oil by rail is more environmentally sound?
P/Ls are proven far safer, more efficient, cheaper and eco-friendly

There are fewer rail incidents even if they are worse than pipeline.
But that also has nothing to do with actually keeping supply lower, which is what we want to do to generally reduce carbon emissions.
The goal is to gradually bring it down until we have a sustainable low carbon economy in 2100.
The earlier we start, the easier the transition is.
It's tough medicine.

Pipeline Incident Stats over 12+years
The documents reveal details about more than 1,000 incidents that have happened across the country from 2000 until late 2012.
An incident can include anything from a fire or explosion to a spill, leak or a worker fatally or seriously injured.

Rail Incident Stats over 1 Year
In 2013, 1,067 rail accidentsFootnote 1 were reported to the TSB (Figure 1), a 4% increase from the 2012 total of 1,027 but comparable to the five-year average (2008-2012) of 1,070.

I won't be around in 2100
I believe that the base premise of global warming, climate change, et al is deeply flawed.
That said, whether I am around or not, there will be no tangible differences made based on the initially flawed premise

Yes, well we know you are wrong, but putting that aside.
The question now, is which carbon pricing scheme is best for you.

Dat petros dollar at work again.
Isn't it great that we continued to subsidize this failing industry and made our entire economy dependent on it?

You're a hoot brother... Whenever you have no response, the predictable action is to redirect the discussion into what you think is your comfort zone.
... Here's something for you to think on a bit: Now that there is this magical surplus of oil and prices are low; exactly where is the motivation to find any alternative energy source, let alone the excuse to pay a premium for them?
Ironic, ain't it?.. The very situation that you yearn to believe is helping your cause is, in reality, setting your lobby back decades.
It could be a struggle for me too. If I can make 2043 that will probably be enough!
Are you joking?
Low oil prices is only an incentive for importers to hold back.
For oil exporters it's an incentive to broaden their energy sector because there is little profit when oil is a measley $39 per barrel.
Imports of goods will go through the roof... Really cheap to send cargo ships of all kinds of things across the ocean.
As for the energy sector, the shortfall in prices will be made up by the higher volume of cars gassing-up weekly to go and buy those cheap goods.
You really need to think these things through bud
