Oil Manipulations Exposed

Article was right in some areas but sounded like a pouting Democrat in others. Stick to facts and leave your political affiliation out of it and you would do better. Speculation is a big part of the problem, but so is a weak dollar, a Middle Eastern oil cartel, growing oil demand and peak or at least near peak oil production. Violence in Nigeria and third world governments who keep changing the rules, China, India, Mexico, Brazil, increased diesel consumption as compared to gasoline, increased plastic usage and increased fertilizer usage. The answer is not as simplistic as the author would lead you to believe.

Renewable Energy: Approaching Grid Parity?

WOW. A bunch of good answers and all partially correct. Free market baby! Keep the government out of it! When gas gets too expensive people will start conserving and will naturally turn to new sources. Study history and you'll see necessity is the mother of invention. When politicians push an agenda the outcomes are not good. From the 70's on we have wasted money pushing renewable resources with no real advantages. All energy sources in the future will have a place and as oil gets more expensive and technologies of renewables gets cheaper........ people will change over without you, your senator or anyone else doing anything. Sit back and watch it happen and the trick is knowing what and when to buy.
