So are we going to see a traffic jam on the Ben Schoeman highway where everybody is trying to walk to work?

This has to be fckn BS. HTF can it get that much and HTF can it get there that quick?
Because nearly half of the world's oil tankers would be unable to deliver their payloads.

Maybe then we will finally see alternate fuels come to the fore. Can't be that hard to make a Prius minus the petrol engine. Might not be super fast but at least it won't use any petrol
Trust America to F*** it up for the rest of us.
Iran will make them so sorry for trying to start S***, twice the population of Iraq and are waaayy more organised.
As for the article, oil prices are coming down in 1.5 - 2 years...
And when its $1000 in 30-40 years, we'd already have had finished using hybrids and start to use hydrogen.
And the Americans will never attack Iran. Period.

Geez, I hope you are right.
maybe that would make it go down
Quite right, you never know. Zombies are quite useful critters. I bet you could stick them in a blender and use the result as an oil replacement. Dead useful they are.

The biggest concern I have is Israel attacking them and then the US joining in when Iran smashes the granny out of them.

That would go against form.
Frankly I think the Israelies will essay a selective airstrike, destroy some key installations and get rapped over the knuckles by the security council (as they all breath a sign of relief) then business will continue as normal.

I think it's imperative that Iran backs down from its nuclear power program. Their pursuit only makes a volatile region more volatile.
If US were to invade expect the war to last about 3 weeks although the occupation and small scale conflict would go on for years...
One thing the Americans do very effectively is war and they've been involved in that region for long enough to know the most suitable tactics...
Israel is a very nervous neighbour at the mo.... All in all a potentially explosive situation...

who is more ignorant the oke calling someone ignorant or the oke who thinks america will never attack Iran?
Israel will hit them and US will join in, either way Israel/us pretty much the same thing
blaming the US, wtf do you think oil is so high barok!!!!!!!! the US are the worst nation on the planet and are destroying the world slowly
of course we are going to blame them, they are the reason these Muslim's hate the west
DOWN with America!!!!!!!!!
o sandman why back down man, how many countries have nuclear energy? we have yet the US thinks its fine
let them have their Nuclear energy i say like alot of places in the world
Why does the US want to control the world? Iran will be one fight to many for the US, Russia is looking for a fight with the US, as are the Chinese
The US have very few Allies left in the world and going into Iran would be Suicide for the entire world

Nigerian militants: We'll destroy oil pipelines
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/07/23/nigeria.oil/index.html
(CNN) -- A Nigerian militant group issued a statement Wednesday saying it will destroy major oil pipelines "within the next 30 days" to disassociate itself from a government pipeline protection deal.
Nigerian militants have played havoc with oil production in the Niger Delta in the past.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND, issued the statement. It has been blamed for a number of attacks on the African country's oil industry.
The group issued a statement disassociating itself from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. claim of a payment of $12 million to militants for "pipeline protection."
"MEND is aware that huge payments have been made to some criminal gangs in Delta state as a protection fee," the group said in an e-mail statement.
"This gang is not a genuine part of the Niger Delta agitation for justice but a front for the Delta state governor for such extortions. They cannot be labeled as militant freedom fighters."
The MEND statement said it "will never sell its birthright for a bowl of porridge when the impoverished masses in the region continue to live in abject poverty."
To prove that it is "not a part of this deal, the Chanomi creek pipeline (in Delta State) and other major pipelines will be destroyed within the next 30 days."
MEND has bombed pipelines and kidnapped hundreds of foreign oil workers, typically releasing them unharmed, sometimes after receiving a ransom payment.
The rebels hope to secure a greater share of oil wealth for people in the Niger Delta, where more than 70 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day while oil pumped from the region has brought riches to the government, the group says.
