"1980 was the high point (at least post 1900 high point)."

But prior to January 10th, 1901, the oil industry consisted of low volume pumps, primarily in the Northeast. It was a totally different market, mainly for specialty products. After Spindletop, they realized how to get a lot of the stuff cheaply. And that is when the oil industry was really created.

So you claim the 5x increase in the price of oil since 1999 is due entirely to NORMAL "commodity price fluctuation"? LOL! The chimp's destabilizing invasion had NOTHING to do with the "commodity price fluctuation"?
