Most people in China ride bicycles. A significant minority drive motorcycles. And a tiny minority drive econocars the size of a Toyota Tercel. I can't begin to imagine what the oil markets are going to look like when the pedal power crew moves on to motorcycles, let alone cars.

#6 Iff American voters want oil producers to be based in the USA like the days of yore, they have to put up with the current price hikes at the pump, which will go down again as per the free market - in JAPAN, US$50.00 only gets you 1/4 - 1/4 + a tank of regular. China's prob is that its Commie SOcialsit govt. is essens hoarding cash reserves for other things.
