We were all supposed to freeze, no? I also recall the terror of impending acid rain, which was also confirmed by scientific consensus. What happened to that? Can't science be polluted by politics? It seems that academia is corrupted by groupthink and the problem of the overextended open palm for grant money. Some notable scientists in relevant fields claim that global warming is a hoax. Real or not, global warming panic is going to be exploited - for more gov't regulation, taxation, and intrusion. Real or not, DON'T PANIC!

Someone apparently didn't clue Bush in when in 2006 he decided to suspend the resupplying of the SPR, yet in the campaign of 2004 he refused to do so because it would have a negligible effect on prices.

Oh, and as far as this "supply and demand" thing goes, there are also two other factors that are in play, and that is greed and choice. Consider this: when the Chrysler PT Cruiser was first introduced in the spring/summer of 2000, many dealers were charging as much as $10,000 over sticker price because of "supply and demand." However, many weren't charging a penny over MSRP; they chose not to do so because, I would imagine, they weren't greedy.
