You must the last person on FR who hasn't realized that the major reason prices of oil have risen is simply a factor of supply & demand.
It's Friday and I have neither the time or the inclination to give you a more complete explanation but if you go to the Dept. of Energy's website
http://www.eia.doe.gov and check out the demand versus the supply data for crude oil over the last five years you will discover that as demand increased over the past three years, supply was relatively flat and did not noticeably increase until this year. Have a good weekend. I 'm outa here!
I think IronJack was being sarcastic... ?
