Maybe we should put an Iraq War tax on oil in order to pay for it now instead of letting the old guys in the congress/senate pass the buck to the younger generation.
What we need to focus on is renewable power generation and improving the electrical grid. Then we can figure out how to transport people using this power source.
But the first article got it right. I bet most of this was caused by former housing/dot-com speculators dumping money into the safe bet that is oil. More and more people are wanting to use it, and we aren't making any more than before.
