why are oil prices so high?
If I got a dime every time I read an ad with purloined photos I could retire right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QjS0AbRpAo Andenzi, izimvo zakho ziyaba.

Because it's become obvious that you'll pay it.

I could tell you but then I'd have to charge you for the analysis.

The better question is what steps can we take to fix it?

Nationalize the oil companies. Shrink the money supply. Stop threatening Iran.

The only "fix" is to concentrate on the demand side & stop burning oil. At least slow down the rate. The way we're going, our grandchildren won't even have access to oil at all. There's other ways to create energy, but nobody's going to do anything about it as long as the oil companies have the control they do. The only way to break that control is to decrease the demand.
By the way: If you do the math, the price of gasoline isn't all that much higher than it was back in the '60s, when you adjust for all the rest of the inflation. But maybe all this current panic will get people off their asses.

Oh yeah, that's right. The republican plan for energy independence.
