So you are saying that OPEC is bringing down the price of Oil so that it kills off oil projects in non-OPEC countries? So the fact that this year there were no major hurricanes, a warmer winter so far, increased production and reduced demand in the United States, isn’t the reason why Oil isn’t over $70 anymore. Rather it’s because OPEC is actually driving down the price, you know, with all of their recent production cuts. And here I thought they were doing that to try and keep the price of oil up.
