Probably temporary. HIgh oil has created inflation...companies charge more for their services, including building oil sands projects. What, investors thought they could enjoy higher oil sands profits but freeze expansion costs? Nope, doesnt happen that way. COS and others with steel in the ground might get cheaper before this is over though, as investors focus on the negative.

Ralph - i agree oil is going to $200...and i think this will happen by the end of 2008. Interesting that fields all over the world are "drying" up and majors (BP for instance) are reporting lower volume. If just 100million more Chinese get AC, a car, and wide screen w/PS3 we have more than enough demand to push prices sky-high, but also topple some governments and worse...!?! I lived in Asia and the EU and gas prices here in Canada do not bother me, but they do most Canucks. They obses about gas prices, now at a reasonable $1 per litre. At $4 we'll need the national guard to guard supply trucks and gas stations. N.A. is designed for cheap gas, so we will be hurt far more than the train friendly cultures in Japan and the EU. The media hypes North Korea and Iran as reasons for the price going higher. Wrong. Supply and demand.
