    I can’t think of any reason why an oil company that is also in the NG business wouldn’t allow NG to be used as an alternative

    The margin on NG is tiny.

    There was a phase back in 2010 where NG was around $11/mcf but it has hovered between $2 and $4.50/mcf for the last 7 years or so.

    More than anything while people think that the energy and oil markets are a set of oligopolies they really aren't.



    It's a fabrication of the Left and a mythos from the days of Standard Oil to think there's some kind of cabal capable of controlling the market like that.
    Truth.

    There are hundreds, if not thousands of independent producers in the US.

    Yes, corky, socialism and its tenets are bad. Centralized governmental control of "the means of production" and the "equitable distribution of wealth" are very bad ideas. Socialism is ultimately incompatible with our constitutional republic as it violates our inherent rights.

    That's great, but who gives a shit in the long run if we don't find an alternative for oil.

    In the long run we are all dead.

    Sad they don't teach this in the schools and universities anymore. If they did, we would not be where we are today with a movement of retards demanding Marxism and wanting to live under socialism/communism instead of capitalism.

    Tear the entire rotten education system down and rebuild it. It has been a colossal failure. Trump needs to start devoting time and energy to this. The education system is an existential threat to the republic in its current form because it's churning out a bunch of Marxists, fascists and racists who don't respect freedom, have no knowledge of history and who view the Constitution as a white privilege document.

    Reform it now or Civil War later. Everyone can see where this is heading. Take your pick.
