#1 How trite.

There is a reason why oil is handled by bulk, and not shipped around in actual 55 gallon drums.

#3 How much compared to a Buffet train car (versus just pumping down a pipeline)?

#4 We lost $10 per barrel produced in North America last year & looking much worse this year. Lots of smaller companies are not able to pay their bills. Lots of layoffs (looking towards 40%). Horrible for us & for investors/banks heavily involved in the industry. Should be great for the rest of the economy. For now. But history shows the faster & farther an energy downturn, the faster & bigger the rebound, with all the pain it inflicts on the rest of the economy. Rockefeller's big contribution was stability, which created the oil economy.

#6 Glenmore: I had hoped to get a decent job to be able to pay off debts and taxes associated with The Company but now I'm on unemployment and even that's running out. The only jobs available seem to be with big retail firms and I seem unable to burst through the bubble the national corporate types live in.
