Oil is pushing 100 bucks a barrel.

Can you imagine the back room dealing going on now?

What I imagine is that, within the coming weeks and months, you’re going to see a new surge in support for items like “oil shale,” drilling in ANWR, increased off-shore drilling, and so forth. The argument? “Making oil ‘cheap’ is better for us in the long-run! Increase the domestic supply! Oil independence!”
