So what you're saying is if the US produces more oil then the price will go down. What is your answer for when the Saudis cut production to offset that increase in US production?

What argument are you referring to? You exaggerated and I corrected you. Go reread my post. Demand for gas and diesel will be strong for the next 20 years (maybe more), but diminishing slowly with time. There are currently 1.4 billion cars and trucks and 89 million cars and trucks are manufactured each year and their average lifespan is probably about 20 years. Yes, several companies have been working on solid state batteries. What really matters is what can be produced at scale. It is very doubtful you will see solid state batteries produced at scale in 2025 - perhaps more like 2030 or a bit later. We will, however, continue to see several different chemistries in lithium-ion batteries (NMC, LFP, NCA) produced at scale for the next several years (led by CATL, Tesla/Panasonic, and LG). More facts (or what you call arguments), I know you don't like that.

No, it doesn't work that way. Oil is a global commodity and we use about 20% of the world's oil. OPEC has a long history of controlling oil prices by changing production. If demand falls production will decrease which will stabilize prices. Oil in the US is relatively expensive to produce. Production in the US may drop as a result of any falling prices, which will also work to shore up prices.

To all that think the solution is just produce more If you read the Wall St Journal you would read that oil companies have declined to invest in new oil drilling and have stopped shale oil recovery because they believe that is not in the best interest of their shareholders. They would rather increase dividends and do buybacks.
How do you increase production in the USA with this approach by the oil companies?

Quote:
Are you thinking of the Keystone XL Pipeline Extension which was stopped? This pipeline was built to carry the world's dirtiest fossil fuels - tar sands oil - from Canada which cannot be used in cars to refineries on the Gulf Coast of Texas chiefly for export. The Keystone Pipeline System is operational and carries oil from Canada to refineries in Illinois, Texas and Oklahoma.

Energy independence in a world economy, not going to happen. If oil in Texas can be sold out of the US, who are they going to sell it to?

Oil was, still is, and will continue to be sold on the world wide market. Even if the US could supply all the oil we need, highest bidder gets the oil. In order for the US to have and rely upon our own oil. there would need to be government mandates on price. Not going to happen.

Producing more is NOT good for oil companies since an increase in production will lessen demand for oil and the price will drop.
