Twice now in the past several days, essentially identical posts have floated through the transom, the premises of which one might suspect to be perfectly obvious. Judging from all of the "pain at the pump" tales promulgated by the local and national talking heads, though, it either isn't all that obvious, or they deliberately attempt to disguise it. The fundamental, obvious fact of the matter is: gas prices aren't rising; the dollar is falling. It's what happens when Treasury cranks up the inkjets. Until they shut off the printers, no amount of drilling is going to matter. Oh, and as the USA hasn't added refinery capacity in 30 years, bringing in more oil won't matter, either.
