Talk about self interest ,the USA a the worlds largest consumer(China will soon usurp) wants to bring stabilization ,while this is a good move for producers like Connacher ,it is totaly self serving ,presently the USA dictates what Connacher and all Canadian produceres get for their production ie WTI and the NY exchange,the rest of the world makes do with the lower priced OPEC and North Sea pricing of bbl,this is typically politics where they make the problem knowing full well they have the power to fix it,here in Canada we can thank our lucky stars(pun intended)that we produce on the same continent as does the USA.IMHO the writing is on the wall Peak Oil has been accepted by the U<S> Commodity Futures Trading Commission and we will see OI: bbl stabilize near the $200 level and that will be in the short to mid term,all this bodes well for Connacher and its felow producers ,this is a depleting commodity and as such should garner a higher price than todays levels..
