mr pickens is big on the oil sands in canada. he is quite a character, fun to listen to. he was saying last year at this time oil was going to 100 if middle east conflict erupts, i think it could go to 100 under the right circumstance. greed will be the driving force for the price of oil for awhile. as supplies run out demand will take over. right now we have plenty of oil but not enough refineries. also i see many pump jacks shut down because there are not enough truck drivers to drain the full tanks and the tanks that feed the pipelines to houston are full. the oil industry is suffering from lack of experienced help because of all the lay-offs in the late 90's. if you know anybody that needs a job the oil industry is willing to take them. if you speak spanish you can earn extra as they are hiring the latin american legals and illegals to run the rigs and do the work. around here they work 14 days on and 4 days off, on call 24 hrs. totally crazy here , not enough homes for the workers and families. my house doubled in price and taxes. same in canada. tough jobs but the people who never had a real paying job are loving it.
