you’re mistaken if you believe that high oil prices would distress President Obama. He has previously stated he does not mind high prices. What matters to him is how rapid the prices rise.

crazy

wish someone would actually try to fix the problem

asol figures that the natural gas needed for a gallon of diesel, plus operating costs, comes to about $1.50 a gallon. In comparison, a gallon of diesel made from crude oil now costs more than $2, even before refining, and many forecasts are for the price of oil to go higher.

...price has soared in recent weeks to more than $100 a barrel on global demand and tensions in the Middle East...

Right. No mention of market speculators.

I wonder if the Wikileaks guys went long oil futures just before releasing this little tidbit.

I’m sure this will cause panic but it is not new news. Rumor, speculation and reports have been around about this for a long time.

It may be true, it may not be. Oil will eventually be depleted.
