Tourists evacuate as Gustav grows near Jamaica : comments

what a joke

" sending oil prices jumping above US$120 a barrel Thursday on fears of production slowdowns."

Simply based on fear of a production slow down.
There is also a chance of aliens coming down and giving us an eternal supply of oil, does that drop the price?

Oil goes up on fears of a domestic production slowdown

but it's impossible that it could go down on the reality of production expansion. Just as Nancy "natural gas is an alternative to fossil fuels" Pelosi.
