This whole cheap oil/gas thing is so ridiculous. Yeah, I get it, there's an over supply at the moment with full tankers floating around etc. But it's not like there is any more oil in the ground than there was 3 years ago, and it's not like demand has dropped (or will presumably drop) so significantly that we still aren't headed towards a crisis point in the not-so-distant future.

All these cheap prices do is dissuade increased investment towards alternative fuels. Ultimately I think this is setting our society and possibly economy back several years, and perhaps worsening the impact of the eventual 'oh shit the oil is almost all gone' moment.

Breakfast schmekfast, look at the score for God's sake. It's only the second period and I'm winning 12-2. Breakfasts come and go, Rene, but Hartford, the Whale, they only beat Vancouver maybe once or twice in a lifetime."
