What about oil speculators? I've heard on the news that oil speculators have been driving up the costs artificially. Is that true? Can we see a video on that, please?

Is China increasing oil prices for the US or is it all inflation?

[kradim]

yes. that is true

If Alaska has so much oil and has one of the lowest gas tax, why are their gas prices so high???

[Arun Sarma]

If oil speculators believe that the price of oil will be going up in the future, they will buy oil futures in large amounts. If this happens on a large scale, then that itself can drive up prices (supply and demand)

What about peek oil? From the research I've done it seems to me that 2008 is also the year that global oil production peeked. This reduction in supply has obvious consequences on the future of oil prices. Could we see a video describing peak oil, and maybe some videos on renewable energies like geothermal heat mining?

With the reduction in oil supply we have to switch to sustainable energies as soon as possible, public education is paramount to smoothly making this transition.
