You know this is not a good thing for the USA and oil production right?

Yup, there's going to be large-scale bankruptcies in the oil patch.

Who sees this as great?

Marginally lower prices good for us -- tanking prices ---- not good for the industry, and therefore us.

Nothing to do with Trump. The Saudis and Russians are his close friends.

Now we can end subsidies to the windmills and solar companies. Use that money to help our oil companies. In the meantime, lots of cheap oil and gas for us and our other industries.

I don't think I recall it ever being that cheap in my lifetime. This should drive the price of gasoline at the pump way, way, way down!

It's the lowest price ever. I wouldn't be too sure about pump prices. Wholesale gas prices have barely moved today. Go figure. Gas is still about $2.50 around here.

Glad I retired and got out of the business. It's going to wipe out our domestic oil industry as well as those that financed them.
