I'm just not sure why an oil investor would want to leave their position right now. And I seriously doubt that just TALKING about the problems is going to change the price. Perhaps if we broke ground for some new oil fields and refineries, and people realized it was a SERIOUS effort, the market would respond. But just paying lip service to the necessary fixes isn't going to do anything. We've been hearing lip service for decades now. | In other words the Liberals have caused the soaring Gas prices with their ignorant claims we are on the verge of Invading Iran. Thanks for the heads up. Of course one wonders why 6 months before Bush is no longer President the prices soared on that scare rather then 2 years ago when it might have technically been possible for Bush to ACTUALLY attack Iran.
