Oil Price Quotes

• La subida de los precios del petróleo ha centrado la atención mundial en el agotamiento de las reservas de crudo. Pero el agotamiento de los recursos hídricos subterráneos debido al bombeo excesivo es un problema mucho más grave. El bombeo excesivo para regar y satisfacer las necesidades alimentarias de hoy casi garantiza una disminución de la producción de alimentos mañana.

• Asia is rising economically - and is thirsty for oil. The price pressures on oil and oil price shocks, due to Asia's economic rise, mean that all steps made now to reduce oil dependence will protect us from pain and volatility later.

• "The ultimate recession": a recession caused not by failed regulation and bankers' greed, but by very high oil prices, food and water shortages, disappearing forests, accelerating climate change, forced migration and mass civil disruption...The long and the short of it, unfortunately, is this: more politicians still believe that economic recovery depends on continuing to live beyond our means (financially and ecologically) than on learning to live within our means. And that's why the ultimate "Perfect Storm" recession still looms on the horizon

• Piense en la diferencia entre cómo responden su gasolinera local y el congresista a una subida de los precios del petróleo. Uno hace cambiar el cartel de precios del exterior para reflejar la realidad del mercado en cuestión de horas. El otro envía un comunicado de prensa, intenta organizar una audiencia y al final de cantidad no consigue nada. Mientras tanto, la gasolinera ya ha hecho al menos treinta ajustes adicionales a las realidades del mercado, mientras que su político no consigue nada más que medios de comunicación fáciles.

• At the moment we are facing a whole collection of difficult to forecast developments from the situation in China and the oil-price crash to the worrying news from some banks in Europe and the US. All of that is linked: Worldwide company debt is high and there is a lot of money in circulation. That is why necessary structural reforms are not being made.

• I think oil prices are down for two reasons. One is, there is a lot of supply. There is a lot of supply because the U.S. now produces a lot of oil and there is a lot of supply because the Saudis seem to want to produce a lot of oil, maybe to punish the Iranians and the Russians.

• Islam is a civilization that is fractured linguistically, ethnically, sectarian-wise, as ours is. What bin Laden has done, though, is to identify a number of issues that are tangible and visceral for Muslims. His indictment list of Western support for Arab tyranny, our ability to keep oil prices too low - at least until recently - our occupation of the Arabian Peninsula.

• Lo que ocurre es un terremoto, otra bomba en Irak, alguna gran sacudida en Wall Street en los precios del petróleo, y luego tienes algún nuevo estudio sobre los patrones de sequía por el cambio climático. O una pequeña mejora de la energía fotovoltaica. ¿Dónde encajan en el flujo diario? No encajan.

• Even if we were to sign peace today, the economic conditions in our country would not improve automatically because it will take some time to reach the level of oil production before the war and the oil prices are likely to remain low for some time as the supply of oil in the world is high and demand is low.

• Why are oil prices so low? First, energy consumption growth rates in developing markets have decreased. This is particularly noticeable in China. Second, new technologies are being developed and the shale gas revolution in the USA has taken place

• One by one, these governments came undone, and were forced into IMF tutelage (and national illegitimacy) by the careening oil prices, the debt imbroglio, and falling terms of trade. The last of these governments to fall were the Communist regimes of eastern Europe, which have now gone the way of other Third World countries. The second in the cascade of bifurcations is thus symbolized by 1989.

• I do not remember when I said this [oil production would collapse ], maybe in the heat of the moment, but I do not think I even said it, but I may just not remember it. I was saying that at a certain level of oil prices new deposits will not be explored. That is what is actually happening. However, surprisingly, our oil and gas workers [mainly oilmen] continue to invest.

• It's estimated that about 30 percent of the increase in grain prices could be attributed to the decision to embrace biofuels, particularly corn-based ethanol. It has done nothing for climate change and the business is in real trouble now with the collapse of oil prices. It's completely dependent on a dollar subsidy and tariff from the government.

• Esta mañana, impulsados por la creciente preocupación por el terrorismo, los precios del petróleo han alcanzado un máximo histórico, ya que el coste del barril de crudo asciende a la friolera de 44,34 dólares. Vaya, parece chocante que un producto de suministro finito sea más caro cuanto más lo utilizamos. Ahora la alerta terrorista significa precios del petróleo más altos, lo que curiosamente significa mayores beneficios para las compañías petroleras, dándoles más dinero para dar a los políticos cuyas políticas pueden favorecer a las compañías petroleras, como elevar el nivel de alerta terrorista. Como Simba nos dijo una vez: "Es el círculo de la vida".
