The Price of Oil

60 Minutes aired an interesting piece the other night talking about how this past years high oil prices were not the result of "Supply and demand" as everyone was being told, but rather the result of financial speculation from Wall Street. I thought I would post the video here in case you might have missed it.


Watch CBS Videos Online

Also see the ExxonMobil and BP annual statements on the Energy Market (thanks to Mel for the links!)

Taphonomy of Oil
