Posted by Matt in April 28th, 2008

The reality is that as far as the current run-up in gasoline prices is concerned, other factors are more to blame: shrinking oil output from such key producers as Mexico, Russia and Venezuela; internal violence in Iraq and Nigeria; refinery inadequacies in the U.S. and elsewhere; speculative stockpiling by global oil brokers, and so on. These conditions are likely to persist for the foreseeable future, so prices will remain high.

Peer into the future, however, and the China factor starts looming much larger.

Michael T. Klare: U.S. and Chinese Competition for Oil
The U.S. and China are the world's number 1 and number 2 importers of oil, says Klare, and they are using every means at their disposal to get it--commercial, diplomatic, and military. Worryingly, they both provide arms and other military assistance to oil-producing countries. This is an excerpt from a Carnegie Council talk on May 14, 2008. For the full video, audio, and transcript, go to http://www.carnegiecouncil.org

AMERICA'S OIL - SOLD TO CHINA!!
I was FLOORED to hear that all this talk of DRILL, DRILL, DRILL only means that multi-national corporations will be profiting even MORE from America as they take OUR oil off OUR coast and sell it to whoever is the highest bidder. Likely CHINA. McCain & Palin have been acting like drilling off our pristine coasts will benefit America and be a national security issue - but it is JUST A PLAIN PROFIT ISSUE FOR BIG OIL. This McCain supporter ADMITS IT. If you thought this drill, drill, drill chant sounded too good to be true, you were right. Not only does it take 10 years or more to come online, but once it does, it'll be sold to the industrial powerhouse of China as they continue to feed their industrial machine and move jobs out of the U.S. THIS IS DISGUSTING - and the oil money...
