I think it's worse than what the market will bear, I think the price is being manipulated, I think that OPEC is on the outside looking in.

China has had more to do with the price of crude not going any higher than other considerations. China's demand for crude has dropped way down, will it stay that way?

So many countries using up their strategic oil reserves designed to keep the price of crude down, then what?

IMO if a Democrat were president, crude would be well over $100/barrel, the market takes care of Republicans, after all, Krasnov gave the store away to the fossil fuel industry and stymied clean energy, the fossil fuel industry owes Krasnov.
