I think it would be safe to say that 40% of the cost of oil is "geo-political risk", but the rest of it lies in the fact we have slowed production. That is not an oil company issue. They have to have financing to drill. They have to have permits to drill. We have states slowing the permitting process and a federal government that has simply halted all permitting and leasing on federal lands...and a government that is about to seat a Fed member who wants to force banks not to lend to energy companies...which is fine. I wish they would. When the gas lines hit and the torches and pitchfork hits the FED and the Fed and bankers flee for their lives, then I am all for it. And further, every state and city that bans fracking should be required to close all gas stations and the gas companies should shut off all oil and gas at the state line. Let the ******* freeze in the dark.
