I read this also. It would seem the wonderful speculators are up to this. The man states there is plenty of oil now and will be for a very long time.

Inventories aren't full everywhere.

I find it strange that UAE are stockpiling reserves. [sarc]I wonder if they're expecting the price to fall[/sarc]

The UAE is stockpiling because in 50 years or so, it will be all over.

Mountains of cash from oil, IT WILL BE ALL OVER!

The oil industry, GAME OVER!

FINISHED, KAPUT!

No more oil from that part of the world!

There is no reason for almost $140 per barrel oil. This is thanks to our prosecutors for failing to prosecute Ex-Enron execs. In that final recorded tape of two execs, they clearly state that everyone who had any hand in shutting off the power to California for no reason were moving to the oil industry.

Nice.

I really do wonder how long it will take before we run out of oil. Scary stuff. Estimates are all over the place.

I always thought that was part of our (US) policy of not making the US a primary supplier.

When faced with a limited supply of a very important resource (oil), it is always better to use the other guy's supply first. Even if it costs you more money.

One of these days the middle east will run out of oil and than we can sell our oil to the world.

And I wonder what price we will charge

Eventually, oil will go the route of coal. Being they are both a product of
the Industrial age which has long been over (economics keeps it going),
it should not be too long (considering the high prices) that a new technology
will be invented/discovered that will move energy to a free state. I believe
that has already happened to small degree but the millionare/billionare population
has buried it. Wake Up citizens of the World and see it doesn't happen again !!!
