Oil trading moving to Euros in some cases. Refining capacity is probably up there as well. But the GOP answer? Drill in ANWAR. Don’t forget the falling dollar is the driver of the sharp spike in oil.

The war hasn't helped but the primary cause is simply increased demand from countries like China and, unfortunately, the U.S. (with our loss of interest in fuel efficiency). I *do* think that it's fair to complain about tax breaks for oil companies, as Massa and others have done, however. It may not be the primary cause but it's still galling, and ultimately wrong, for oil companies to bribe their way into extra money when they're already making billions of dollars in profits. What is the cause?

It's the Republican caucus' response to high gas prices. Evil Nancy Pelosi could just lift a finger and make it all better, but she won't, because she'd rather eat baby kittens and bunnies than help America. Yeah, it’s serious.
