Nice summary today on Yahoo Finance highlighting the winners and losers in the US from plunging crude oil prices. The most obvious winners of course, are the consumers.

Moreover, cheap oil means advances in important renewable energy technology may fall by the wayside. With oil prices this low, using renewable energy becomes far less attractive to consumers. The article also lists the negative impact on energy investors and global unrest as factors. (VIEW LINK)
