Oil prices have dropped.
Ironically the oil prices that keep your Hummer on the road are the result of…your Hummer.

Scientists say this will be the warmest year on record. Ask a New Englander because it is 65 in the Northeast this weekend. Those are Florida temps. Heck, we’re usually colder than that in the beginning of January. At the same time the middle of the country is getting dumped with snow.

I don’t know that Greenhouse Gasses are solely to blame. It is an El Nino year which makes us wet and warm on the East side. We are also in the midst of a polar shift. Google it. It happens periodically and maybe it is Mother Earth’s way of shaking to the Etch-A-Sketch.

So warm winters mean less natural gas demand which keeps oil prices down. Thus continuing the cycle. I won’t get into the argument about what exactly brought this on, but millions of Tahoe’s puffing exhaust at the sky probably isn’t helping.
