If that works out maybe our futures will be safe...

So instead of acid rain, we'll get fried rain LoL. Problem is, if everybody jumps on that bio-fuel bandwagon, the cost of waste oil from McD's might surpass that of gas!

It's not about oil, there's plenty.

It's about the dollar.

It's not backed by anything except debt...making it pretty much worthless.

Burgandy and say "If you like that take it, if you don't, send it right back."

But you can do something about it, have you written your representatives urging them to push for oil production in the US? I bet if we all started to write letters it would put some pressure, at least is trying versus giving up.

It's not ALL the commodity traders it is:

1. Rising Demand
2. Lack of Supply(OPEC)
3. The traders

Exponentially increasing demand in China, India and Russia are raising prices but S&D fundamentals do not support $100/bbl oil.

Rising demand and "lack of supply" are not responsible for $110/bbl peaks in price. Speculators and the weakness of the US dollar in the global economy, however, ARE.

yup. $110 oil is the price of America's idiotic foreign policy.
