gas prices
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

So I have to say I'm feeling the gas price increase, a barrel $102. I commute to school so I fill up my gas tank quit a lot. I just can't figure out if we actually been getting gas for a cheap price and now it's going up to what it should be. Or if we're just be held hostage to nations with oil. On another note America does have the largest reserve in the world... How do you even price gas?? Why hasn't it been more expensive from the beginning since the demand has always outdone the supply. I do drive a low emissions vehicle and it gets about 37 HW and 32 City so that's helped out.

Also I can't figure out why Obama keeps trying to point out why Clinton has a mandate or fine if people don't have health insurance because Obama has a mandate as well. And what good is it to have healthy kids but sick parents/adults. A healthy kid can't do anything when the parent is sick and when that parent looses their job because their sick they won't be able to buy their kids health care and then they will get fined. What a great plan Obama... If you don't know what I'm talking about you can google democratic debate in Ohio and watch the debate that happened last night.

Yesterday I saw a homeless lady, and she was not the usual homeless person. She looked like a good woman that just got into a bad situation probably something to do with the economy since we're having prices with less purchasing power aka Inflation. But I have to admit I drove home a different way just so that I wouldn't see her. And it's not because I'm a bad person I just had nothing to give or offer. I couldn't face her. It ruined my day. I wish I could have helped. But I still live at home and have no job because I'm taking 18 units at school. I'm actually thinking about going to apply at the grocery store by my house so I could make some money for situations like that. But even if I gave the woman 50 dollars what would that have done?? It could have put her in a hotel for a night but what about the next night. My teacher said being homeless in America is still better than living in some "third world" countries.


Lastly my teacher siad the other day that if we stopped eating meat we would stop global warming?? Any opinions?? I really don't think that's the problem.

Opec: The oil cartel in profile
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) is an association of oil producing countries set up with the express purpose of influencing oil prices by controlling supplies.
The stated policy of the 11 member countries is to keep crude oil prices within a range, priced per barrel.

The US, the world's biggest oil consumer, usually focuses on Saudi Arabia and Kuwait when lobbying Opec to raise or maintain production so as to guarantee price stability.

And the need to maintain good relations with other member countries, and with the US and other consumers, is almost always part of the equation.

Opec is often portrayed in the West as a greedy and untrustworthy cartel, cynically manipulating the price of oil. But many of the so-called 'oil-rich states' are rich in very little else. Crude oil is their only export, making them uniquely vulnerable to world oil prices.
