Shouldn't that be included into the US oil import reasoning? Peace -stephan I thought lots of gasoline is imported into the US due to limits on refineries capacity (which makes sometimes gasoline much more expensive in Europe).

Shouldn’t that be included into the US oil import reasoning?

This is alarming, since whole world is in deep recession and the current financial crisis will last until early or late 2010 I think. Any cuts in oil supplies will cause price hikes on petroleum and this will further deepen current recession around the globe. Higher oil prices will result in higher prices for basic goods and services and this will put the middle class, small business owners in a very bad situation. I hope the world leaders will be able to persuade OPEC to try to keep the supplies at current levels at least until the end of year 2009, since higher prices will have a very nasty impact on economies trying to recover from recession OPEC is trying to make deepest oil cuts ever to rescue the prices… This is alarming, since whole world is in deep recession and the current financial crisis will last until early or late 2010 I think.

Mmh Brian,
maybe have a good degree of control on the “outer world” oil supply (who says China and India?) isn’t that superfluos,

My first reaction was to remember all the outrage over the US's declaration of war with Iraq, the WMD claim, as REALLY being about protecting our oil supply (which is just as legitimate for those in the US rely on said oil supplies)... And, then I remembered hearing that Canada allowed non-profit groups to raise money for terrorists... And then, I thought, "hey, we should be at war with Canada instead"... and then I remembered that John Candy has already made the movie. So... it could be the first movie ever to be the basis for, not based on, a historical event! Data is so cool! Eh? Interesting.
