ROPA – aj 300 USD/ barel je vraj reálnych

Arabian Business quoted Mr Matthew Simmons chairman and founder of Simmons & Company International as saying that the current highs of USD 100 per barrel oil are cheap and could top USD 300 per barrel within the next 5 years.

Mr Simmons said that "I think the supply is showing some very troubling signs that we might well have already peaked and started [to slow] down. If we have not, we are very close to it. Demand on the other hand shows absolutely no sign of slowing down because we are now at USD 100 a barrel, which I still think is a preposterously cheap price. It works out at just USD 0.15 a cup. A cup of gas will get a car with 6 passengers in, with the air conditioning on and go two miles. It is a bargain."

He said that "The price does not seem to have slowed anyone down. It works out as much as USD 378 a barrel. We will never run out. What we will run out of is light sweet oil because it is the easiest to get out of the ground. So all we will be left with are massive amounts of oil in places but it is going to tend to be stains on rocks or oil sands."
