A big part of that is cuz the US dollar's in the shitter. Don't forget that you make proportionally more money at your job since everything costs more in the UK when translated to US dollars.
On a different note, it'll be easier to increase electricity generation in an eco friendly fashion in the long term than to keep relying on oil. Also, breaking the dependence on unstable regions of the world will be good.

Love when NWkite plays smart
Crude has come way off its high of $147 earlier in the summer, closed today @ $121 but has been as low as $111 recently.
Pullback driven by demand destruction in Asia, US, Europe (people not driving as much b/c $hit is spendy), and a strenghting Dollar. |

yeah I am sure they won't mind opening another trojan right. 
better stratigize another eco jaizaster to keep the tree huggers distracted to get the approval through.
ever heard of rolin blackouts ....brown outs?
Cali will be setting the way and they are already having delivery /consumption issues......
buy some local water and gas stocks probably won't be dissapointed in the longrun.  |

Although I am not in favor of being addicted to oil, last I heard, supply was not the issue. It was futurists and hedgers that spiked the cost of Crude, something like the California energy issues a few summers back.
I am cool with nuclear but I would like to see more solar and wind alternatives.
I sure wish I would have bought more stock in chevron 2 years ago instead of buy my f'ing house in Happy Valley.

I work as an energy trader and people love to blame speculating on the rise in oill. In reality, up until a few weeks ago the fundamentals of crude oil were out of balance. Demand was outpacing supply, the world was using more oil everyday than it was producing.
Speculating does play a part in price swings, but its not the only driver. |

Funny that $111 a barrel would seem cheap! How quickly we adapt (turn the temp down on the stove so the frog doesn't jump out yet....)

in the late 1990's oil was trading for the inflation adjusted lowest prices *ever*. in the entire history of the petroleum industry, the cheapest constant $ prices were when that graph starts.
a better graph would be to overlay the dow jones on top of the price of oil for the last 30-40 years.
if you really are confident that the price of oil is going to go up and up and up, than you should be putting your life savings here |
