When will the ASSHOLES in Congress get it? We need to Drill and Refine more OIL in the US. Unless they can rollout THIS YEAR a car that can put out 300hp that runs on something other than gas then they need to stop being idiots. Not to mention the Trucking industry and all the other crucial elements of our infrastructure that depend on this vital fluid.
Iran issues stark warning on oil price
War of words over trade sanctions

Iran stepped up its defiance of international pressure over its nuclear programme yesterday by warning of soaring oil prices if it is subjected to economic sanctions. As diplomats from the US, Europe, Russia, and China prepared to meet today in London to discuss referring Tehran to the UN security council, Iran's economy minister, Davoud Danesh-Jafari, said the country's position as the world's fourth-largest oil producer meant such action would have grave consequences.
"Any possible sanctions from the west could possibly, by disturbing Iran's political and economic situation, raise oil prices beyond levels the west expects," he told Iranian state radio.
In a provocative move, Iran also announced plans yesterday to convene a "scientific" conference to examine the evidence supporting the Holocaust. The news comes weeks after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad provoked a global outcry by describing the slaughter of 6 million Jews by the Nazis in the second world war as a "myth".
