Oil: A Slippery Slope

With some experts predicting that oil production could peak as early as next year, when will we run out of oil altogether becomes the question. The invisible ceiling on a barrel of oil was challenged last week when prices neared $50. Consumers in the US are feeling the first pinch of prices that might go much higher in the next five years. Industry is passing the rising cost of oil on to consumers in other ways like the cost of shipping food. It might seem like no surprise then that the UN reported an undocumented amount of oil disappeared from Iraq for lack of flow meter valves in the ports. Good thing groups like the Apollo Alliance are working towards independence from oil.
