OIL!!!!

Anybody from Hawaii? I'm curious to see what happens to gasoline supply there, now that they've capped wholesale gasoline prices.

 

Yeh, but now that I think about it----having both wouldn't be a bad idea to have both. But all the city folks(I live in the country)---what about them??? Where they gonna keep their horse if they live in a ten story apartment??? You can't just let the creature "roam around" on the streets of NYC---some "mad man" would kill 'im!!

But now that you mention it---horses would be a whole lot more "fun" to have---see??? You can ride a bicycle---but the bicycle can't never be your friend like the horse can!! Plus think about all of the "Home made" fertilizer . . .

 

I recently returned from a vacation there. Prices near Kahului airport on Maui were about 2.60 a gallon. In Hana, it was 3.50 a gallon (advice to those thinking about taking the road to Hana: fill up before you leave).

Keep in mind, this was about amonth ago.

 

An American Bilderberger expressed concern over the skyrocketing price of oil. One oil industry insider at the meeting remarked that growth is not possible without energy and that, according to all indicators, the world's energy supply is coming to an end much faster than the world leaders have anticipated. According to sources, Bilderbergers estimate the extractable world's oil supply to be at a maximum of 35 years under current economic development and population. However, one of the representatives of an oil cartel remarked that we must factor into the equation, both the population explosion and economic growth and demand for oil in China and India. Under the revised conditions, there is apparently only enough oil to last for 20 years. No oil spells the end of the world's financial system. So much has already been acknowledged by The Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times, two periodicals who are regularly present at the annual Bilderberg conference.

Conclusion: Expect a severe downturn in the world's economy over the next two years as Bilderbergers try to safeguard the remaining oil supply by taking money out of people's hands. In a recession or, at worst, a depression, the population will be forced to dramatically cut down their spending habits, thus ensuring a longer supply of oil to the world's rich as they try to figure out what to do.

Most people don't understand the concept of margins, long term contracts, spot markets, or supply and demand. They just think crude oil is free.

 

Here are the latest results of an online poll at CNN/Money:

Who do you blame most for rising gasoline prices?

Oil companies 28%
OPEC 14%
Market speculators 24%
Gas guzzlers 11%
China and India 14%
Other 9%

Total responses to this question: 40,279

At least only about a quarter of the voters in this unscientific poll are blaming us. I don't know what they expect us to do about it. We net $0.03-0.04/gal. Even if we break even and make no profit it would only lower the price of gasoline by $0.03-0.04/gal. I guess it's easier to blame someone than to advocate sound policies to increase production, build more refineries, and conserve gasoline by driving something besides gas guzzler.
