So, how high do you think the oil prices will go this winter and how low will the US$ go?
Oil Prices Soar Nearly $2 a Barrel

Oil Prices Rise $2 a Barrel on Supply Concerns, Drop Seen in US Inventories
$100 per barrel will be this year easily, and possibly even $110. People thought that was impossible about 5 years ago, at least within the next 25 years.
I'm all for MPG standards from Congress. I'm a free market supporter, until the very infrastructure of our country is all being dictated by a foreign, volatile market. We need alternatives to gasoline/diesel like 20 years ago. We are really looking more and more screwed each day that goes by. And unfortunately Hillary or the mainstream Republican candidates are a vote for more of the same. Selling our country to China and the Middle East, as well as to the war industry. It will take massive changes to turn the US around, and if we don't turn it around soon, we will fall from power and be subject to other countries directly controlling us and telling us how to run our country, much the way we have them for the last few decades.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I live in MA and the heating season here will mean deciding between putting gas in your car, eating or having a house that is not freezing cold for a LOT of people. 40% of the houses are heated with oil over 40% are heated with gas. Personally I just cut down on my driving, lower my thermostat. But we are moving soon, and the first investment we will make is a pellet stove or wood stove with a high efficiency rating and investing into insulating the house. I drive a car that gets good gas mileage and only use about 30 gallons of gas a month, but my next car will be a hybrid.
The falling US$ will only contribute to higher oil prices, we are so scr**ed.
Watching an empire collapse can be interesting. Living in the empire while it collapses is another matter. We have destroyed ourselves with the combined mistakes of deindustrialization driven by a "free' market and deficit spending to avoid taxing our militarists to pay for a contrived war.
Maybe we should let King George stay in power so we have a clear idea of who to blame.

Would we be allow to guillotine him if we had a revolution in this country.

Do you think anyone who helped elect him would understand what they are now seeing now after 7 years of this mess? We (the nation) would have been better off with a monkey in office flipping a coin to make the decisions. Seven years of destroying a nation I worry about the last year and what he can do with that!
Well, since planet Earth is now experiencing a decline in oil production, since we have exhausted many of our oil fields, along with other natural reasources, prices will keep going higher until we change our energy consumption habits. Either we change or the prices will force us to change. I admit, it is a very frightening situation, not just for the U.S. but the world as a whole.
