The truth of the matter is, demand is out stripping supply and once the world reaches peak production (2006?) we may hold onto a plateau for a few years. Then starts the fast decline in production that will last forever. Figure by 2020 the USA will HAVE to operate with oil resources we used during the 1930’s. Anyone who thinks the market is just being manipulated and we have enough oil to continue business as usual is going to have one heck of a rude awakening very soon. That's life, so deal with it. The blaming and denial will not solve anything.

Here's another well informed post from 2012 forum!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')Great Post!!!! The left-wing tree-hugging crowd is squarely to blame for our current situation. The US has not built a new oil refinery since 1976! Why? The environmentalists tie up oil companies for years in court blocking them.

The US has not drilled along the coasts and cannot drill in ANWAR. Why? The environmentalists!

The US has not completed a nuclear power plant or new coal fired plant in almost 20 years! Why? The environmentalists!

Sadly, the speculators are responsible for much of the short-term in stability in prices we currently face. It is nothing more than pure greed on their part. However, as I said earlier the long term cause is the environmentalists who have systematically dismantled this country's ability to find and use energy for the last 30 years! If they had not put us in the position we're in now, the speculators would have nothing to speculate about!

I don't give a rat's ass about an owl or some obscure fish if it means I can't afford to pay my mortgage or fill my gas tank to go to work or heat my home in the winter! A poll released today showed that 76% of Americans are in favor of drilling!!!!! That number obviously includes a lot of liberals!

I want to see just how worried about the polar bears and caribou the liberals are come December when it costs them $1000.00 a month to heat their homes!!!!!!!!!

Heh. Dam enviromentalists.

I wonder when people bring up all the great alternitives for energy, they don't realize they are conceding the point, that production has peaked.

WTF is with the fucking blame game. My granpappy tought me to suck it up, and get to work. Whining about liberals EVERY time, ya had yur oil boys in the house, and a conservitive congress/senate, and still didn't get the job done? Sounds like a problem with the conservitives, not the libs.

Sorry, been listening to glen beck, had to vent.

I find it amusing that all the talk was about the US, as if only the US is facing rising oil prices. No offence to the many good Americans here but some of your people are astonishingly self-centred and ignorant.
