Oil "subsidies" are tax breaks - principally depreciation allowances - accounting rules that apply to the business cycle of many recovery industries such as mining.
Also Factor in what kind of oil is being produced and refined. To my knowledge U.S refineries mainly process sour crude oil and the oil the U.S produces is called “Sweet Crude” which has less sulfur,easier to refine, and sells at a higher price.
Not to mention most of our refineries are configured to only handle sour crude and dirtier forms of crude because of its availability. Venezuela has the world’s largest Sour Crude Reserves.
Hence the reason for the Keystone XL to get the shale oil out to other regions. Some midwest refineries use it and it pressures midwest prices lower as there are few buyers.
The average person has never been so poor. Millions of families are struggling financially as living expenses hit the highest levels in more than four decades. Over 60% of our country lives paycheck to paycheck and about 40% earns poverty wages. Even after working all their lives, more than a quarter of older people have no savings and many believe they will never be able to retire in dignity, while around 55% of elderly people try to survive on an income of less than 25,000 a year.
I began my investment journey at the age of 38, primarily through hard work and dedication. Now at the age of 40, I am thrilled to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single year for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advicmonth e mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity.
The US was running out of oil before shale oil. It takes 30 seconds to look at a graph and see that the US had an oil production peak during the 70's just like M. King Hubbert predicted in the 50's, that is conventional oil. That's what made the US a big importer of oil since then and created tensions between the US and other regions of the world and contributed to wars like Irak to ensure sufficient supply of oil for the US which was increasingly becoming a massive importer. The US stopped declining ever since it became capable of exploiting shale oil, which is environmentally a disaster even compared to traditional drilling, and it's EROI (Energy Return on Investment) is really bad too compared to conventional oil, so it's terrible from a transition and environmental perspective, but has allowed the US to restart it's economic machine and to some degree restart the world economy too by becoming once again the biggest oil producer in the world.
@@adridell well said It think we got a good decade before oil prices will rise again because of US oil proudcition slowing down with a bad recesion with it :)
@@Desperate-Drive3423 When world oil production starts to decline it will not translate into continually increasing oil prices. Oil is an essential ressource for the economy to function and thus, what matters with oil is the amount that is produced not it's price. When oil starts to decline prices will indeed rise, but since that means less oil it will fundamentally also change the purchasing power of demand, since less oil means less economy, and thus demand will drop too, when oil starts to become scarcer it will translate into continually unstable prices, not by continually increasing prices, because both, the offer and demand of the market will change according to how much oil is available and thus how much economy is possible, prices of essential ressources like oil do not determine how much economy we may have, it is the amount we extract that matters, because oil structures our economy and without oil there is no economy.
@@adridell point is, the "experts" were objectively wrong. Its a shame that the Canadian government didn't follow your lead instead of funding groups to oppose our energy independence.
Oil produced today does not cost the same as oil produced 10 years or 50 years ago. Horizontal drilling and fracking are expensive - mid east and russian wars are about as expensive. The US sucked our cheap oil away long ago.
Wind and solar energy can be resource-intensive, but nuclear power stands out as the best option we have right now. With today’s technology, nuclear plants can be built safely. Those who oppose it often do so out of a lack of understanding.
Unfortunately, regulations add so much costs that nuclear isn't cost effective. Inherently safe nuclear technology could reduce the requirement for some regulations
@@timothykeith1367 10+ years development and $15 billion dollars of investment for a plant that only last for 40 years is a big ask. i'd like to see more nuclear but it doesnt seem economically feasible.
not under US permitting and labor regulations, as well as our capital system where every piece is on borrowed money and lenient bankruptcy is available. it also takes a lot to overcome the NIMBY pressure which means you have to add lots of distribution and remote costs into the picture. the most recent plants to come online, Vogtle, have added high surcharges to power bills just to break even. the reverse side of the coin under nationalization is that it becomes affordable but risks govt cronyism and ineptness, aka Japan, and all those extra costs come right back. Fukushima cleanup is at $82 billion and counting and they haven't even started, nor does it include all the externalities (destroying entire regions of land value); $800 billion is the predicted final cost. the whiteboard looks clean, but us humans haven't been able to figure out how to manage it France so far hasn't done too bad...
@@ctgottapee9020 Plus the plants that Make Nuclear Great Again haven't been built in any meaningful scale that allows boasting how wonderful nuclear is.

Just imagine, there are countries out there who harnessed their natural resources to build a sovereign wealth fund for the benefit of their citizens which will be around long after the oil drys up. In contrast, we decided funneling the profits to massive, multinational corporations was the way to go. It's so moronic.
The majority of Countries with Sovereign Wealth Funds have large surpluses in their budgets. The reason is they have major extractive industries within their countries that produce more income than they choose to spend on themselves. So they keep the extra money and use it to invest in commercial opportunities. In general this is a good idea. The commodity they are extracting will some day dry up. If the spent it all now they would have an economy they could not support in the future when the income stream no longer existed. Other countries use their sovereign wealth funds to invest in businesses they government thinks are important. The government is picking and choosing what it thinks is best circumventing the normal capitalist process. Several states within the United States have sovereign wealth funds. My question to those that think the money held in the federal governments trust funds should be invested is do you really want the federal government being a major owner of private businesses? Do you really want that level of influence which would be inherently political? The United States has a different approach. It funds many major research institutes that produce basic science which is then available to be developed and commercially used.
I don’t understand why it can not be both! I love law abiding big business but also acknowledge the land should be the peoples and therefore they should receive a share
No it's really smart actually, if you're a politician and you take bribes to make sure big companies get all of the money then you will be rich and who cares about the rest of the country if you're rich enough to never have to work anyways
But if you look at that production chart, it was correct for over 30 years as production declined year over year. They just didn't account for technology that just became available in the last decade or so, would be so good at getting at the oil.
@@MetaTaco317 they probably aren’t accounting for us going after the untouched reserves in the future also. It just cracks me up when the experts get it so wrong
For the same fact that business is booming so an increase in supply will guarantee a decrease in prices. Expectations of Future Supply and Demand: If traders expect that future supply will exceed demand, they might sell futures contracts at a lower price to hedge against potential losses. This expectation can be influenced by factors such as increased production, technological advancements, or geopolitical stability.
@@elcaciquedev Correct, in the video they mentioned that demend is going down due to geo political problems and that demand for US oil is growing. So future contracts imply its not advancement in technology but something else that will bring down price of oil. It's clearly demand issue since supply is more than stable.
Sleepy Joe Biden the Oil trader sold over 130 million barrels from the SPR when prices were above $105 a barrel back in Feb 2022, and has been buying them back between $70-$80. He capped the market below $90 and made a ton of money for the Treasury.
Why? That would just create more product and prices would go down. Can't have that. No, instead more needs to shipped overseas where it can be sold at even higher price.
Woah for real? I'm so excited. Mark Hutchinson strategy has normalised winning trades for me also. and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
I would feel better about this if the spike in oil production is temporary while the country shifts to renewable energy. Instead people just keep buying SUVs and complaining about gas prices, like climate change is a problem for someone else and not their own children.
The renewable slows crude growth. Global oil use is only up 2% over a 4 year period (2023 vs 2019). US oil production is weakening OPEC+ control on the pricing markets.

If you look at the oil consumption curves, we are in the slowing phase of the sigmoid (logistic) curve, and is actually in the saturation phase if we use oil/capita consumption. It means the oil age is here, but on the way out.
This is one of the many things i admire about America the capacity of reinventing themselves everytime the whole world is rooting for America to fail and decline they manage to pull something out of nowhere to stay ahead the oil production is a perfect example of that
Yep they always manage to pull out a war as a distraction and money making scheme...creating more instability around the globe to protect itself from the chaos they create...

Germany in particular is the dumbest. Germany had a recession in 2022 winter because electricity was too expensive to run the light bulbs in their factories. You can be mad at the USA for that, but you should be mad at european policy makers for that.
US natural gas only represents like 20% of EU natural gas imports. Much of it comes from Norway and North Africa. If they can get a better deal from those countries they should do so. US natural gas will be more expensive due to liquifying it before shipping.
It's not really the fracking process that does it. If anything it's the disposal wells. Interaction between subsurface freshwater and drilled wells or disposal wells, in general, is minimal due to the extreme distances in depths. Subsurface groundwater (fresh water) is normally in the hundreds to a couple thousand feet. Wells are drilled at depths of thousands and tens of thousands of feet. It's rare, in this day, that a wellbore would go through a fresh water reservoir on the way to wanted reserves.
They are pumping trying to keep up production because the wells now fall in output at an incredible rate. Permian has 3 layers and we're down to 3rd floor basement.
Let's also talk profit margin. In 2021, when oil prices averaged $71 per barrel, oil producers could expect a profit of at least $15 per barrel. In 2020, when oil prices averaged $42 per barrel, it was difficult to break even producing oil. A different online data set based on fiscal year 2020 accounting data calculates the average net profit margin for the oil and gas production and exploration sector at about 2.8% This is just on the upstream side and includes cost for buying seismic data, geotech analysis, appraisal, further exploration, development, drilling, and producing. This doesn't then include the midstream and downstream costs or profits. Transport from asset to refinery, cost of refining, cost to transport and sell. Not all oil produced can be made into every needed product and can't be refined at every refinery. It's crazy complicated and they just scratch the surface in this video.
Very interesting and actually proves the strength of US oil as 2020 was a black swan year. Especially as the upstream players are the most vulnerable as they are exposed to the volatility of the market where as the others have long term contracts in place that make them way more of a stable business that would need years of a very bad market to suffer significantly.
You sicaphant, you're the reason Britain is were it is today, they've sold out to the US as a lap dog under guise of security, its ok for everyone else to be rich as long as its not Britain and look what's happened ,you're a theam park. You should be trying to source cheap energy no matter where it comes from ,you pay 3.00ltr for petrol ,do you think US care about you or the big US and British oil and gas companies they will quite happily sell you oil at that price ,start putting Britain first that's what the US always do or there companies, that's why they have cheap energy. Do you think US had Britain and Europe's best interest at heart when they blew up the Nordstrom pipeline from Russia to Germany of course they didn't, look at geo politics, the only way to win is put your own interest first as a country, have boundaries, don't let cold war US spin walk on these
Just be forewarned that Fracking can cause earthquakes and catastrophic environmental damage not to mention the staggering water needed to produce oil.
The oil used in manufacturing doesn’t contribute directly to climate change. It’s only burning it for fuel that does that. It’s still going to be the most important natural resource on earth even after we stop burning it for energy.
My utility company decided to raise gas and electricity unit prices minimally while doubling the service fees. So much the incentive for conserving energy.
it's dumb. Record production cuz of record prices. So the increased production is to chase the appreciating price. So prices are not coming down. So in the end, the consumer still suffer while the shareholder gets a windfall.
Demand isn't going away it's going away in the US , 50% of the total petroleum products in the US will be exported by 2030 and 80% of it's natural gas. Only the producing States will have petroleum.
This is crazy stupid piece on their explanation on subsidies and the huge issue of implicit subsidies that effect millions each year in worsening health locally and regionally and nationally
Many people don't realize how screwed the US would have been if not for the shale revolution. We are living in a different world compared to if we produced ~3-4 million barrels of oil per day, and also only modest amounts of natural gas. And people think the economy now is bad. It would have been much, much worse, not to mention the geopolitical position of the US very poor indeed.
it's adorable that they still think that extracting more oil translates to lower prices for consumers. If supply goes down then prices go up, if supply goes up, then they figure out another reason to keep the prices where they are.
Yeah they are all the way up to 3% of the world's electricity use. Sure we also need to consider that most of the datacenter use is replacing office server rooms which would be less energy efficient than a data center. And all the travel that those technologies have avoided. And the improved efficiency they bring to other industries through all that fancy math. And that almost every laptop and PC in the world uses less electricity because most of the world's apps have had their processing moved to a data center. Maybe after considering all that your comment has a tiny spec of credibility, so we should continue our pressure on tech companies to be energy efficient in their future plans too.
With US supplying oil, it minimizes ARAMCO's monopoly of oil supply. A few years back ARAMCO dropped their prices which caused a lot of oil companies to close then when there's less players in the market, increased the prices again.
I learn a lot watching your videos and it has always been helpful to Trading, It's gonna take me a while to catch up to you Thank you for sharing the good trading important video with us...take love
Amazing. Our country gave big oil tax incentives to increase production just so we could pay more at the pump… and pick up the tax incentive bill. Sad country
That's because "green energy" and fossil fuels are touted as equivalent, basically interchangeable. In reality green energy can't replace fossil fuels, and continuing to try to shoehorn it in will cause problems.
If you have the money like 25+ thousand dollars for solar panels ok buy them but that much money can buy years of gas you have to be young to break even and the solar panels brake or degrades it takes oil to make solar panels.and thay fall every day
Thank you USA, for stabilizing world oil prices. My country which imports most of the oil, which would have been very expensive if not for US record production. May you be blessed 😇.
"We can't retire our existing fossil fuel assets because we're still using them." That's like when I told my doctor, "I can't stop drinking soda because I just bought a whole fridge full of it."
It's kind of like an alcoholic/addict stating: I can't take the time off work to stop and go thru withdrawals, if I'm going to stop I need more now I just can't stop yet" The thing is they're right and outside of a major life event happening most don't stop til they hit rock bottom.
I researched the cost to convert entire world to solar panels and grid scale battery only: Solar panels: $1.43 trillion Grid-scale batteries: $6.85 trillion Transmission infrastructure: $2 trillion Maintenance and other: $2.46 trillion projected fuel savings over 10, 20, 50, and 100 years from switching the entire world to solar energy: 10 years: ~$45 trillion 20 years: ~$95 trillion 50 years: ~$270 trillion 100 years: ~$880 trillion
Why don't they work on investing money in cash, electronic money, and thus always have money to spend? Fuel is essential, but if in 2013 the United States did not use much oil, why in 2023 will it have risen to more than Saudi Arabia and Russia?

In that case, we should be getting a homie discount. If the Nationwide average is above $2.50 a gallon, we don't export. If the Nationwide average is $2.50 or less, we export the surplus gas
Not how the free market works, these are private companies that are drilling and selling the gas not the government. If you want low gas prices by the government then go down to Mexico where the government gas company PEMEX does exactly what you are asking
It's funny how many people think this is already how it works, that we need to "drill more here" to lower prices, when that's never been how it works. All "drilling more here" does to prices is that it raises overall global production, which lowers overall global prices, but it's always those global prices that determine the price at the pump, whether the oil min the tank comes from the Gulf of Mexico or the Persian Gulf.
The solution to the "wind energy is nice when they when the wind is blowing" and "solar energy is nice when the sun is shining" is super simple. Pumped storage hydroelectricity. Whenever renewable energy has a surplus of power, pump water to an upper reservoir, then during off hours for renewables or peak hours simply release the water through penstocks and turbines to generate power. No need for batteries or additional transmission infrastructure.
Those are good, but they make the most sense in cooler climates where there's natural topography to build those reservoirs. I think we also need to look at nuclear, especially small modular reactors to help meet base load demands.
@@SteveLomas-k6kyou mean base load power? Nuclear is more than capable, but our leaders are weak willed and our population is full of pearl clutcher science illiterates.
@krysatheo Well, people are working on alternatives. Here in the Netherlands for years we're looking for a way to implement hydropower in a flat country. There was a plan for an underground hydroelectric powerplant at an abandoned mine in Limburg province. However, that project never seriously left the design phase. However, now we've a new way store hydroelectric power at the bottom of the sea or at the bottom of lake. The company "Ocean Gazer" has come up with the "Ocean Battery". It's an enclosed system consisting of a pressurized water bag at the sea floor and a water tank under the soil. When the system is charged, the water from the tank is being pumped upwards into the water bag. The water bag is getting pressurized, but the pressure of the surrounding water outside of this enclosed system prevents the bag from exploding. It's ideal to have it installed among the windmills of an off-shore wind park and the first results are showing those water bags act like artificial reefs, improving local biodiversity of sea life. Looks quite promising to me and it solves a few issues like hydropower being damaging to the local environment setting everything underwater and blocking fish migration routes. It also solves the problem of hydropower needing mountains and it's storing the energy where it's generated without having to take into account things like evaporation, dry weather or downstream flooding. The water in that system is also clean. So no problems with mud. I'm not sureif they plan to use tap water/river quality water or cleaned sea water.
if we are gonna give subsidies, we can subsidize training oil workers to transition to other industries, and subsidize big oil to actually invest in clean energy.
These radical environmentalist and apparently the IMF with their explicit and implicit subsidies, always look at the harm that oil brings but don’t look at the benefits. They say externalities of oil is $757 billion but what about the benefits of oil like the overall economy and productivity resulting from oil production and use? It has to be in the trillions of dollars!
Yes, trillions of dollars, not like it's going to cost the Earth, is it? Oh, wait... (you must have been rooting for the business case for the asteroid in Don't Look Up?).
"These radical environmentalists"? As opposed to radical anti-environmentalists? I get so tired of reading shallow statements. How about we change the conversation to an actuarial analysis of risks and rewards of doing a variety of things, of drawing some transitional path to a "better" world? And what can we all agree is "better"?

Wind and solar energy can be resource-intensive, but nuclear power stands out as the best option we have right now. With today’s technology, nuclear plants can be built safely. Those who oppose it often do so out of a lack of understanding.

Just imagine, there are countries out there who harnessed their natural resources to build a sovereign wealth fund for the benefit of their citizens which will be around long after the oil drys up. In contrast, we decided funneling the profits to massive, multinational corporations was the way to go. It's so moronic.
The majority of Countries with Sovereign Wealth Funds have large surpluses in their budgets. The reason is they have major extractive industries within their countries that produce more income than they choose to spend on themselves. So they keep the extra money and use it to invest in commercial opportunities.
In general this is a good idea. The commodity they are extracting will some day dry up. If the spent it all now they would have an economy they could not support in the future when the income stream no longer existed.
Other countries use their sovereign wealth funds to invest in businesses they government thinks are important. The government is picking and choosing what it thinks is best circumventing the normal capitalist process.
Several states within the United States have sovereign wealth funds.
My question to those that think the money held in the federal governments trust funds should be invested is do you really want the federal government being a major owner of private businesses? Do you really want that level of influence which would be inherently political?
The United States has a different approach. It funds many major research institutes that produce basic science which is then available to be developed and commercially used.

If the business is so good, why are future oil contracts constantly being sold under current price?
For the same fact that business is booming so an increase in supply will guarantee a decrease in prices.
Expectations of Future Supply and Demand: If traders expect that future supply will exceed demand, they might sell futures contracts at a lower price to hedge against potential losses. This expectation can be influenced by factors such as increased production, technological advancements, or geopolitical stability.
@@elcaciquedev Correct, in the video they mentioned that demend is going down due to geo political problems and that demand for US oil is growing. So future contracts imply its not advancement in technology but something else that will bring down price of oil. It's clearly demand issue since supply is more than stable.
Because opec dictate supply. The oil grade that world needs is not the oil coming from US

At least underground water is not affected by micro plastic. Oh wait fracking will with gaz.
Yawn
It's not really the fracking process that does it. If anything it's the disposal wells. Interaction between subsurface freshwater and drilled wells or disposal wells, in general, is minimal due to the extreme distances in depths. Subsurface groundwater (fresh water) is normally in the hundreds to a couple thousand feet. Wells are drilled at depths of thousands and tens of thousands of feet. It's rare, in this day, that a wellbore would go through a fresh water reservoir on the way to wanted reserves.
They are pumping trying to keep up production because the wells now fall in output at an incredible rate. Permian has 3 layers and we're down to 3rd floor basement.
Let's also talk profit margin.
In 2021, when oil prices averaged $71 per barrel, oil producers could expect a profit of at least $15 per barrel. In 2020, when oil prices averaged $42 per barrel, it was difficult to break even producing oil. A different online data set based on fiscal year 2020 accounting data calculates the average net profit margin for the oil and gas production and exploration sector at about 2.8%
This is just on the upstream side and includes cost for buying seismic data, geotech analysis, appraisal, further exploration, development, drilling, and producing. This doesn't then include the midstream and downstream costs or profits. Transport from asset to refinery, cost of refining, cost to transport and sell.
Not all oil produced can be made into every needed product and can't be refined at every refinery. It's crazy complicated and they just scratch the surface in this video.
Very interesting and actually proves the strength of US oil as 2020 was a black swan year. Especially as the upstream players are the most vulnerable as they are exposed to the volatility of the market where as the others have long term contracts in place that make them way more of a stable business that would need years of a very bad market to suffer significantly.
we do need to keep oil prices low %95 of people still drive gas cars but subsidizing any corporation that makes billions in profit is crazy .

Energy companies make billions and gas prices still high. The rich gets richer..
The solution to the "wind energy is nice when they when the wind is blowing" and "solar energy is nice when the sun is shining" is super simple. Pumped storage hydroelectricity. Whenever renewable energy has a surplus of power, pump water to an upper reservoir, then during off hours for renewables or peak hours simply release the water through penstocks and turbines to generate power. No need for batteries or additional transmission infrastructure.
Those are good, but they make the most sense in cooler climates where there's natural topography to build those reservoirs. I think we also need to look at nuclear, especially small modular reactors to help meet base load demands.
Yes, we have a big pumped hydro reservoir in Niagara Falls. It's mechanically problematic and isnt cost effective atm.

@krysatheo Well, people are working on alternatives. Here in the Netherlands for years we're looking for a way to implement hydropower in a flat country. There was a plan for an underground hydroelectric powerplant at an abandoned mine in Limburg province. However, that project never seriously left the design phase. However, now we've a new way store hydroelectric power at the bottom of the sea or at the bottom of lake. The company "Ocean Gazer" has come up with the "Ocean Battery". It's an enclosed system consisting of a pressurized water bag at the sea floor and a water tank under the soil. When the system is charged, the water from the tank is being pumped upwards into the water bag. The water bag is getting pressurized, but the pressure of the surrounding water outside of this enclosed system prevents the bag from exploding.
It's ideal to have it installed among the windmills of an off-shore wind park and the first results are showing those water bags act like artificial reefs, improving local biodiversity of sea life. Looks quite promising to me and it solves a few issues like hydropower being damaging to the local environment setting everything underwater and blocking fish migration routes. It also solves the problem of hydropower needing mountains and it's storing the energy where it's generated without having to take into account things like evaporation, dry weather or downstream flooding. The water in that system is also clean. So no problems with mud. I'm not sureif they plan to use tap water/river quality water or cleaned sea water.

USA is global leader when it comes to dealing with Global warming 😅
We have the global leader China that dwarfs US when it comes to carbon emmision, China is accounted for one-third of global electricity consumption and 60% of that comes from buring coal.
@@JigilJigilwho is consuming the products made in china?
Who is the cumulative biggest emitter since Industrial revolution?
Are you sure, how much of a roll does natural carbon sequestration have❓Do you know for sure it's not Geomagnetic Reversal, & if it is Geomagnetic Reversal how does what we have done help at ALL moving forward❓🤔

the leader of causing global warming
Country went from selling products to. Selling. Gas again

All these electric cars, why is gas still so high?
Electric cars are a very small percentage of vehicles in the US currently.
