Supply side, demand side,......how about the hockey side. This came to mind while walking (doing my part to reduce demand) to meet my daughter after her work.
If the current inflated oil price were a hockey game, it may be described as follows. Neut and his team of "tree huggers" are presently forechecking the heck out of us (the way I like my teams to play). We do not have a defenseman that is willing to battle a "tree hugger" for the puck. Evertime we move, there is another "tree hugger" to put a check on us. We can't make a breakout pass, or skate out of our zone. No shots, certainly no goals. Furthermore, it may be well into the 3rd period.
Until we are willing to battle a "tree hugger" for the puck, the opponents score (price of gas) will continue to soar.
A few are willing to blame Big Oil for many things. Bottom line is Big Oil is making record profits at these prices, why change environmental policy,......foreign oil producers love our boat loads of money (even though it is worth less),......airplanes, truckers, and trains are passing the costs on to us. It is us, the consumer, that is paying, and will continue to pay.
We will continue to pay until someone is willing to battle the "tree huggers" for the puck.

What price will that be?
