I think that needs to be cleared up too, because this thought occurred to me, and correct me if I'm way off in left field. We know that supply and demand dictate where the price is going to be. We know there's a theory out there about peak oil: whether the peak oil is something that's going to happen shortly or whether it's somewhere in the near future, it's safe to assume that when that happens the price is going to skyrocket. Is the high price of oil keeping our price of oil down? If the high price of oil encourages some of the exploration and if the earth has x amount of oil, but if we're approaching the point where we're going to be extracting that, then is the high price encouraging exploration and subsequently producing enough oil that we don't get to that point yet?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
