Of course, oil prices had risen so quickly and irrational that the market was ready for a major correction. plummeting last week oil prices represent a significant portion of this correction.

And while oil prices are currently on a wild ride, American motorists are still feeling the sting of a month-long term-oil prices has once again raised the average prices over $ 4 a gallon throughout the country. And while many Americans struggle with that price and that weighs on the economy as a whole, the irony is that it has absolutely nothing to do with supply and demand.

By estimate almost universal, it is more than enough oil available to meet world demand comfortably for the foreseeable future. Yes, there is a clear need to move away from fossil fuels, environmental concerns for geopolitical reasons, but oil is not expensive because it is not enough. It is expensive because of the merchants of the products they buy and sell oil as an investment strategy and global monetary policies that influence the value of world currencies.
