Are you living under a rock? India and China have drastically increased their use of fossil fuels, and the supply has remained static.
There are more straws in the same bowl. Got it?
Thank God China isn't involved in US politics, and are free to drill off the coast of Florida in Cuban waters. US companies were invited to bid on oil leases, but we have regulations about doing business with Cuba.
Regarding the Saudi's - oil expert's opinions is that they are tapped out, and production is declining. They see the end of their fortunes in several years, but an end none the less.
They cannot really boost output. Saying "no" is diplomatic speak. Quote: |
Early this week, Senate Democrats introduced a resolution to block $1.4 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia unless Riyadh agreed to increase its oil production by 1 million barrels per day.
| The Democrats have a peculiar style of diplomacy, don't they? 
Russia would love to supply them and heal the rift caused by Reagan when he made a deal with the Saudi's to drop the price of oil to the floor. This added one more huge burden on the already overburdened back of the USSR who was exporting oil as the only dependable export!

And McBush put the topping on the cake with his foreign policy proposals.
Gotta give 'em( Our Republican Leadership ) credit, when they phuck up, they do it right.

Has Supply and Demand really risen that much?
| It's not a supply/demand thing. It's all about expectations and speculations.

Saw an interesting report by a couple of experts. We will be going up to $6.00 a gallon in a couple years. China and India markets will be doubling their demand within 10 years. We have 2 choices, be off of oil soon or drill for our own.

Good thing the hydrogen economy would cost more the build than relying on $6/gal gasoline.
Oh crap, I brought science into a political thread. My bad! | |
