get used to guys - it is simply a matter of supply and demand. This spike is nothing but gouging pure and simple. Any excuse to make a quick buck. But we are running out and that means the price will go up and up and up.
'Experts' differ about when we will hit the point where we will the half way point in the worlds accessible oil reserves. Some say 10 some say 20. Point is they all agree that it is finite and within the life time of most people alive today. We have used up the first half in what - just over a hundred years? And the rate in the first 50 years was just a trickle. Now we have at least a third of the worlds population who have been locked in a peasant society - China, and India mainly - who are emerging into a western like era of cars and industry. There is no way we are going to squeeze another 100 years out of the reserves. Drill and pipe to your hearts content - all you are doing is hastening the end game. If you want to criticize government find out why they are not treating this as a crisis and diverting cash and research to solving the problem of what we are going to do without oil. |
