Paid a record $86 today to fill my explorer. Last year I was gawking at the pump when I paid $60 to fill it.

There's a consensus among many economists that speculation is driving this to a large degree also. At some point the specs will exit and prices will pull way back, but we may see 200/bbl first.

Boone Pickens was on CNBC yesterday pushing for implementation of wind turbines in the great plains as a renewable energy source. Turbines on the cape are sounding better all the time.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
