This article says that right now the US is exporting energy since we can't consume all we produce. It also mentions that speculators are responsible for much of the price hike. Now that type of "profit" is OK by some, but don't you dare let the government get their hands on any of it, that would be a crime. I just don't get that kind of thinking.

There most certainly is but one side to every story: the TRUTH. Variations of it are nothing but lies.

Since the tar sands oil extraction has been mentioned, here's an interesting read on the subject. The article outlines how the Canadian company behind the proposal has lied about the project and some of the true environmental costs that are likely to be paid if/when this project--meant to export fuels from the US--is built. Yeah, that Fox News really keeps us up on the situation.

The rapidly rising costs of gas in Estados Unidos brought back a memory of what one of my supervisors once said about it eight or ten years ago.

"I hope it goes to ten dollars a gallon."

Didn't make a lot of sense to me at the time but in retrospect I assume he had invested in an ETF fund specializing in oil.
