Saudi Arabias unwillingness to follow its longstanding policy of propping up oil prices means North Carolina might have to wait for offshore energy exploration.
Thats the assessment of Daniel Fine, associate director of the New Mexico Center for Energy Policy and project leader of a group developing New Mexicos state energy policy. Fine described a Saudi-led oil price war during a presentation to the John Locke Foundations Shaftesbury Society.
In the video clip below, Fine explained how falling oil prices tied to Saudi Arabias new policy affect North Carolinas energy options.

Looks like the price war will be with us a while. There was an article posted the other day-maybe on FR, not sure where I saw it, about a new fracking method that doesn’t use water. That was the only holdup to fracking in Saudi. Suddenly those declining oil fields in the Kingdom have a new lease on life.
I’m beginning to “wonder” if ISIS isn’t the plan of the overlords to capture/control Saudi oilfields, and return to high oil prices.
New Mexico is a landlocked state. I’m dubious about their veracity on the subject of anything going on in the ocean a thousand miles away. ( mileage is estimated )
If you look at the 1 hour video there is a great intro by the CEO of the Jesse Helms Center about Dr. Fine.

crises.
