Interesting thought but at $20 a barrel who wants to invest in exploration or production of oil? Next think you know you have a shortage of a commodity that the world cannot survive without... unless you are willing to go back to living in a cave.. I know I am certainly not. Thats why when there is a shortage (and we are withing 1% or so of daily consumption) then oil will shoot drastically higher.
Oil is the most important single commodity we have.
