If we are to have any leaders at all, there must be.  Just like the
addled sheeple that we are, everyone is saying, "Peak oil is over, happy
motoring
days are here again! Oil is *only* $65 a barrel and gas is *only^ $2.60 (or
whatever)!!"

Peaking a bit behind the curtain though, in the recent downturn in world
financial markets may speculative traders got caught short and had to dump
contracts they were holding at any price to raise cash to meet their
obligations. &
nbsp;Some of the price reduction is a reduction in demand but most of it is
literally that when you are at the pump, some speculator somewhere is footing
$1 a
gallon of your gas as you fill up.

For now.
