It was Bortles’ 10th touchdown pass in three weeks, the most ever by a Jaguars quarterback ever during a three-game stretch. When you win, everything’s all right. “I feel like we can do this every week if we want to”. “We do too much stupid stuff”.

He said six passengers were being questioned in relation to it, including the man who raised the alarm. Lucchini echoed the head of Air France’s sentiments about the collective cool of the flight crew.
“If you lift the ban on crude oil exports, and then something else happens in the world that raises oil prices, some people may draw the conclusion that the two are connected”, Westfall said. Crude oil prices are lower than anytime since 2009, and have not been so consistently low since 2005.

In a global marketplace, America can benefit greatly one day from exporting the vast new energy reserves unlocked by “fracking” and subsequently boosting oil production.
Congress, concerned about US dependence on imported oil, imposed the crude oil export ban after the Arab oil embargo of the early 1970s that sent gasoline prices soaring and contributed to runaway inflation.
It was said that US exporters will be “selling into a remarkably glutted global market” that now faces a “surplus of at least 600,000 b/d in 2016”. Refiners in the USA are nearing capacity for refining light tight oil and there are not many major infrastructure upgrades planned that will, in the near-term, increase the capacity for refining light oil in the U.S.
Although few expect to see significant exports in the short-term, lifting the ban could help reverse that price trend-and keep some struggling companies in business.
Lifting the ban was “particularly important at a time when our industry is experiencing a period of extreme volatility and uncertainty”, Ryan Lance, chairman and CEO of ConocoPhillips, said in a statement.
“I don’t think it puts them in any danger”, said Tom Kloza, global head of energy analysis for Oil Price Information Service.
The world is awash in oil, driving down crude prices from more than $100 a barrel 18 months ago to the $30 range today.
United States politicians have approved a measure to lift the 40-year ban on crude oil exports. “Regardless of whether the US exports crude, they’ll be ahead of the game”. Natural gas was not covered in the 1975 oil export ban.
The provision is part of a spending bill that will fund the government for the next year and is expected to be voted on and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate before the end of this week.
Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie welcomed the decision to lift ban on oil export.

While the use of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking”, remains controversial due to environmental concerns, American oil and gas production has skyrocketed. “Incentivize further oil production”, he said. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, to build bipartisan support for lifting the ban, said getting enough Democrats on board required balancing it with renewable energy tax credits and the potential for conservation programs.
