Just a bit of a side note. I live in Alberta Canada and I have seen the severe ups and downs living in an oil rich place can create. The growth here has been banana's and while that can be good, there are always down sides. The cost of a house here has gone up so much it's insane, builders can't keep up and landlords keep raising rents due to the contstant demand for a place to live. Oil. Don't want to go into much else about it I guess. I've been riding my bike a lot lately though. Better for me, better for the environment, easier on the wallet.
