Apparently today, OPEC announced an emergency meeting in Vienna on Friday in efforts to maximize the raping of the worldwide oil consumer, and more specifically, the American consumer. Venezuela's Hugo Chavez(Sean Penn's pal), and an Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Captain Crazy), led Iran will be among a handful of other batshit crazy countries to decide the fate of a barrel of oil. As the last several weeks have seen the prices drop to 73 some odd dollars a barrel, it seems Americans are faring too well in our current economic crisis that has millions of homes being foreclosed.
As Iran's Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari said earlier last week, "The era of cheap oil is finished."
Awesome.
When asked what price Iran would seek for its oil, Nozari retorted, "The more the better."
Double Awesome.
Seriously, can we contemplate sending someone to Mars, yet we, along with China, the leader in worldwide gasoline consumption, not develop something that would make petroleum worthless in 10 years? This is embarrassing.
