Speculation is driving up the price of oil to historic levels, and it hurts all of us -- from what you pay at the pump to how much it costs to heat your home to the price of putting food on your table.  Tell us your story about how runaway energy prices are affecting your family.

Oil Speculators have released their speculative forecast on oil price for 2009 & 2010.

Analysts of those oil speculators have speculated that an average oil price will be $75 a barrel in 2009 and it will be rising to $100 in 2010 because of FEAR FACTORS on the supply side of crude oil.

I have located this info from CNN Money.com.

This Administration should act on the OIL SPECULATION BILL as soon as possible.

Or, it will create OIL BUBBLE!

Because its these people that have weaseled themselves into our primary trading floors along with the commodities market
and by trading in such a way so as to make quick profits in markets that traditionally would not allow such practices these people who trade like this have virtually taken over the stock market as a whole and buy and sell primarily by greedy quick profits at their core is fear that causes them to have a major effect in the market more so then they did 15 years ago. In other words they learned how to throw out info to cause others to panic and or sell with out exploring the options and consequences their influence in the commodities market is more powerful than the market leaders realize. and it must be addressed

However, all of you who are complaining how expensive it is to fill your tank, start trading your big SUVs and trucks to more fuel efficient cars and start taking public transportation. I have no sympathy for you and your gas guzzlers.

If we have been misled by the current Administration, another of the same will drive American economy into blackhole.  We will lose our economy power in the world.

We do not have global shortage of oil.
We do not have problem of supply & demand.

But, there are huge influx of billions of dollar into crude oil future market.
A Republican-appointed CFTC did not do his job at all and he lets go the oversight of financial oil speculators in the oil future market. So, please open your eyes wide to see a big jump in oil future in a day. Supply & demand does not change that fast in a day!

All financial oil speculators want to offset their losses in Wall St & credit crisis. They suck our money through gas pumps to cover up their huge losses in mortgage crisis.

Understand?

Again, we need to stop EXCESSIVE OIL SPECULATIONS and we need a short & long ENERGY POLICies.

In the long run, we need RENEWABLE ENERGY.

We will have to use portable electric space heaters and burn wood in my stove. I make a little too much to be eligible for LIHEAP. I didn’t need it when oil was under $2 a gallon, but they have more than doubled and my salary has actually dropped because of a plant closure almost 4 years ago. The Democratic controlled Congress refuses to do anything to control the price of energy because they are controlled by the environmentalists and global warming extremist who want to reduce the burning of fossil fuels by keeping the price high.This will backfire as many people like me burn wood because we can’t afford oil and I’m sure burning wood will pollute the air more than my oil burner wood. Hopefully global warming will get here soon so I won’t have to heat my home

A nation trying to rebound from the huge fallout of 9/11, the war in Iraq, Katrina, and now the banking collapse. I have news for you. It is going to get worse, much worse. Drilling and producing oil domestically for say 25% of our needs would secure hundreds of millions of dollars that are now leaving the country every day. Would that have a huge positive economic impact?  Yes it would. Would it help America get back on track?  Yes, it would.  Are we pretty much doomed if we don’t drill?  Very likely.  It is going to get really bad if we do not start using our heads. Oil is a necessary part of the economy of any country.  We are fools to think we don’t need to drill. You folks can start walking to work if you think that is the answer, I prefer to drive.
