Remember the Seventies?

Very much so. It was a time when the government thought it knew best and tried to interfere too much in the oil markets. We nearly saw the same mess after Katrina but this time Congress backed off. Markets go through bumps and there will be problems along the way but that is always the case.

I remember the first energy shock in the early 70s. Then it happened again in the late 1970s. We seemed to be able to move the shortage around a bit. That's what got my family into the coal business.
