The Correlation Between Crude Oil and the U.S. Dollar

CLH is most probably correct. And De Graff is also correct the fundamentals of the dollar are changed. ( However,I would not say forever).
What happens to the dollar long term depends on our response to this crisis. If while they have the financial institutions jacked up with short term liquidity they put a firm foundation under it by creating a system that encourages saving and investment instead of gross consumption for it's own sake thing could return to normalcy. This also depends on us as a country creating a energyl supply that is both abundant and affordable. Without affordable you can not grow any country's economy
long term. This means that we probably need many forms of energy for our supply not any one particular alternative fuel. This is especially true in the short term.
