Understanding Oil Prices...more

Oil prices are a confusing subject for most consumers. At times, the prices seem to go up or down for no particular reason. The explanation for this is simple: the supply and demand of petroleum is always changing based on a variety of factors. In this story, we'll try to quickly explain how the market works and how it affects gas prices.

 

Kick the Oil Habit

Hooked on Oil

While domestic oil production peaked in the 1970s, consumption continues to grow at break-neck speed. In 2025 the U.S. is projected to consume 28.3 million barrels a day -- 44 percent more oil than we do today, with domestic production meeting a mere 30 percent of that need. aoilpolicy2

America spends more than $200,000 per minute on foreign oil -- $13 million per hour. More than $25 billion a year goes for Persian Gulf imports alone. This NRDC analysis considers oil demand and supply projections and how our current policy of oil dependence effects our economy and security.

Citizens for Energy Freedom

The United States is being looted by the international oil cartel. By restricting production in the face of growing world demand, OPEC has raised the price of oil twelvefold in the past ten years. In consequence, U.S. tribute for foreign oil this ear will exceed $650 billion, total American oil payments will be $1.1 trillion, and humanity worldwide will be squeezed for nearly $4.5 trillion. This massive tax is sending the US and other industrial countries into a global depression. more
