The article's author needs to take a more careful look at the history of oil 
prices.  Just a few months before 9-11, oil had been trading at around $20 a 
barrel.  Some months after 9-11 oil fluxuated between $25 and $30.   In 2006 
the big news was that oil had slowly risen to *nearly* $40 a barrel.  The 
concern was that there had never been a time in US history where oil had been 
more 
than $40 a barrel without it causing a recession.

While high oil prices help bring on recessions,  recessions invariably result 
in very low oil prices.  And now it has dropped to a mere  $79. It's the old 
"hurray, I'm a llama again" bit.

OPEC is determined to keep oil at $100 in the long term. They are meeting 
soon to that effect.
