A crashing world economy is bad news for big
oil, same as everyone else. I have to suspect the price is coming down more than the normal winter season cycle. The price of energy affects the entire economy. I think they may be trying save the economy, without calling too much attention to themselves. Not trying to say it is out of kindness. Just that it is in their own selfish interest, and it so happens to be in our best interest, as well. That's speculation with no facts to back up any of it.
