I’m becoming quite interested in the economics behind our energy supply. Could you please explain your theory of how Diesel prices will tumble if/when fracking is a reality in this country?

Well, I suppose that the price of diesel is a function of (among other things) the price and availability of supply and the price of substitutes. I assume the products of fracking to be a range of light to heavy hydrocarbons. I thought that this was what had lead to the decline of energy prices in North America.

My point exactly! No matter what the cost to the fuel company, the price to us will always be in an upward direction. Give or take the odd penny to appease the protesters.
