Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
Shell and Exxon support export, but refiners like Valero could end up paying more for the crude oil. Gene Green
When coal came into the picture, it took about 50 or 60 years to displace timber. Then crude oil was found, and it took 60, 70 years, and then natural gas. So it takes 100 years or more for some new breakthrough in energy to become the dominant source. Rex Tillerson
The U.S. policy of hoarding crude oil never made the world, or even the U.S., a safer place. Timothy Noah

When coal came into the picture, it took about 50 or 60 years to displace timber. Then, crude oil was found, and it took 60, 70 years, and then natural gas. So it takes 100 years or more for some new breakthrough in energy to become the dominant source. Most people have difficulty coming to grips with the sheer enormity of energy consumption. Rex Tillerson

The large western oil companies, which cartellised the industry for much of the 20th century, are now selling more oil than they find, and are thus in the throes of liquidation. James Buchan
