The usage rates of China and India are rising. Terrorists are desperate to wreak any havoc possible. A couple more powerful Gulf of Mexico hurricanes or refinery accidents could do it.

thinkaboutit Champion Author Colorado Posts:1,071 Points:75,875 Joined:Jul 2005	Message Posted: Apr 12, 2006 12:09:29 AM Ignore thinkaboutit Report Abuse denix29 -- people are free to say what they want. Your advice of ignoring the situation is heeded by most politicians (government and opposition!) - keeping their mouths shut and not talking about what it really takes to resolve this (reducing North American consumption). The solutions are scary and painful, but ignoring them will cause even higher gas prices and greater pain. Thanks to responses like yours (ignoring instead of acting) and politicians taking them to heart, we are virtually assured of $100 /barrel within 5 years!

Just let the terrorists blow up a major oil terminal or refinery and you will see what happens. The failed terrorist plot in Saudi Arabia still caused oil to spike $2.50 per barrel. Had the been successful, can you imagine what would have happened?

As long as the US governments (1) continue to block oil recovery in ANWR, US coastal, sea floor and other large known oil fields, and (2) continue to insist on regressive roadblocks that effectively prevent construction of badly needed refineries in the US, then you can be well assured that the price of crude will not only reach $100 / bbl in the next 5 years, but very likely to exceed it.

NoDirectionHome Rookie Author Orange County Posts:14 Points:343,170 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Dec 30, 2005 2:37:36 PM Ignore NoDirectionHome Report Abuse Yes - there are signs that the world may have reached peak crude oil production or is very close to reaching that point. When people realise that the supply of oil is limited, then the price is going to rocket up.
