A recession will put a lid on crude prices for some time. Anyone who doubted there would be a double dip recession can now be assured of that by reduced crude supply.

Nice time to be dreaming up peak oil. I find it hard to imagine that the market is going to pay 2 times the marginal cost of production for oil to companies like BP which has a fixed cost near $60. We might as well start suggesting that dayrates for offshore oil rigs are going to climb to $1 million per day and this is the ideal time to buy RIG. But, anything is possible.

>I won't repeat all the other arguments for owning Canadian Oil Sands Trust. The only thing I see against it could be political risk. And even if the Canadian government expropriated the entire tar sands deposit, previous owners would get some kind of payment.<

Instead of expropriating the assets, they could tax the life out of them. Just like Australia is proposing to do to its mining companies.
