Oil Prices, Energy Trends & What Comes Next

Seems to be a lot of events putting pressure on lower oil prices in the next year. The care free, high rolling days of the oil boom are over in the bakken region, but not sure what to say on the development. As long as the region tries to develop a favorable economy, they have the chance to do alright, but still too much politics here. But in the end, this region has terrible weather and not much to offer. Many officials are either too conservative, like in the past not allowing more "good" popular chains to come in and take out the local good ol' boys, or they are unable to control the greed. You end up with a lot of bitter, greedy people with terrible uncaring and impolite manners. When I was in North Western Montana, it was amazing how genuinely nice most people were wherever you went.

Back to the oil industry, it's so volatile that anything can happen, so you never know.

 
I think this year is done for as far as oil goes myself. In fact I see it actually dropping more towards fall. But next year I can see it going back up. But I am also tired of the people and the greed. The little town and are that I once didn't mind are now gone. Time to move on to some mountains.

Yes sir if all works out well. Western Montana is where we were originally from. We just got back from vacation and this time it made up my mind. I need the clean air, the mountains, the stars at night and the sunsets. I lose the cringe in my stomach when I am back there. It feels like I am home.

I will miss you friend but can't compete or argue with the many reasons such as it's where you are from originally, where your family is closer, less stressful and "oil polluted" environment and a more lovely and peaceful location.

Not sure I believe the @jmanz part. I am not moving as great as the change of scenery would be. My parents are here. They lived through crappy oil town before and it got better and never left so I can too. It's where I was born and lived my whole life and jobs are secure at the moment.

 
At the moment.

Hey nothing is for sure. What about jobs for you when you move? You can say you will find something, anything well same for me. If I lost my job there will be something even if it is walmart to support family.

Jobs will suck. I expect to loose over half of what I get paid now. But in return I am getting lower cost of living, things to do both in summer and winter. Scenery etc. Plus my kid can goto a good school, and live in a place where they can actually do stuff. Like someone told me recently, they would rather be broke and making memories, than having money and not making memories.

As I told Nodle, home is home. I'm a North Dakota boy through and through. I could move but I'd always miss it. It would always call me back home. Just like Montana is doing to Nodle right now.
 
I'd hate to leave family, but ND isn't such a healthy place and the weather sucks. Plus my home town is filled with local politics and greed.
