Hey if it makes you feel better having someone to hate, hate big oil. It wont change the facts but it may make you rest easier at night.

No, I was hoping you'd hold me back..
I'm about to go off on another one of my right-wing conspiracy diatribes...

I heard this latest price hike in crude was to "cover anticipated lost revenue due to reduced demand"

which has got to be the absolute biggest COC (crock of ca-ca) I have ever heard...

so what this means is:
as alternative energy sources become more widespread, reducing the need for petroleum, the price of petroleum will rise to match the price of alternative energy...

which seems to be counter-intuitive to free-market principles
(however, I never claimed to be an econ major)

just
