Oil tanks are full throughout Europe and most of the world. There are no natural disasters threatening supplies. There are no wars threatening a reduction in supplies. Oil Tankers are moving the stuff freely and the pipelines are in full flow.
Demand from China and India is up but the USA is using less oil so worldwide demand isn't really increasing.
So why on earth has the price doubled in 12 months? The answer is that there are people manipulating the prices in the markets and making a shed full of money at our expense.
The question is, why are international governments not working together to stop this practice? Big business could well be having more control of the economy than governments which is why Gas and Electricity prices have risen so much. If this is true and there is no other reason, what can we do about it?
Tommy,
Ever looked to see how many top CEO's are also on other Boards? We have a saying in the UK about people pissing in the same bucket. It could be quite scary and like some of the futuristic films where everything is run by a big Corporation.
Thanks LBJ. There is already an undercurrent of unrest in the UK and the Crewe by-election that crushed the Labour party yesterday showed that people are waking up. I'm not saying that its the fault of Brown or Darling but people now want something to kick and I think its the same in the USA.
