and I will also add - long ago there should have been reforms in the financial markets preventing hedge funds from speculating in oil - its a massive problem, and its adding $20 to each bbl right now.
I don't know if the solution is as easy as that, but I completely agree that this oil speculation is beyond absurd. A true free market should result in lower prices when inventories are at historic capacity. But I'm also hesitant to have government stick its nose into said market.
