  1. I'm watching the front row qualifying too and see that. All the talk about the her and Stenhouse must be having a positive effect. Most likely the shakeup in her crew last year was the positive effect.

    1. The first paragraph:

      SHALE oil production could boost the world economy by as much as $2.7 trillion by 2035, while reducing global oil prices by up to 40 per cent, according to a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

      "... reducing global oil prices by up to 40 percent..." As you noted, more than just Nigeria would be hurt. But, can you imagine global growth if energy costs came down that much?
