Ken is correct. The price of OIL is going up because of a little thing called “Supply and Demand”. I know you socialists don’t believe in ‘supply and demand’, which is OK, since your belief structure has no effect on the real world.
You can look for a villain and give it a name, that won’t change the facts. Those facts are that more humans are buying products made from OIL (Organic Industrial Lubricant). That increases the demand for OIL and since the supply is limited, the price will go up.
If that is a problem to you, find a nice cave and buy a horse.
The party is over. Cheap OIL is running out, there is NO substitute for OIL in the near future ( next century or so), so either you pay the price or do without, which is where the cave and horse come in.
