Americans are nearly as worried about energy as they are the War
Americans are nearly as worried about their country‘s dependence on foreign energy sources as they are about the war in Iraq , a poll released by the magazine Foreign Affairs showed on Thursday.

Almost half of the 1,000 Americans surveyed for the Public Agenda Confidence in U.S. Foreign Policy Index gave U.S. policymakers a failing grade in weaning the country from foreign oil.

Since the August index was published, the U.S. energy chessboard has been rearranged by a broad energy reform law going into effect, a two-hurricane punch that shut in domestic oil production, sudden spikes in oil prices spurred by geopolitics, and record oil company profits.

1. Put on your seatbelts. Oil is going to $100 a barrel in the next year.
I don't expect it to hold there, but it's going.

When? When Iran and/or Venezuela limit production.

100 could be conservative. They know the oil companys run is almost over and they will get all they can out of us.
