Require the speculators to take delivery. Oil will plummet.

Obama just said he plans to tax the hell out of ExxonMobil, et al.
Maybe he isn't that bad after all...

Fuel is $4.30 a gallon. I know my driving has changed. We cut down long commuting to one trip to boston a week from 3. We hangared the guzzler T'Reg and are using our old brick wagon for around town crap, Schools have been cutting down empty busses, and the train is actually being used.
I think that the bubble is inflating a little too fast, and its November 2005 all over again.
I hope so, Oil contracts are at $4.80, and there are a lot of people who are already at 60º in the winter.
