Energy
What's going on? Is the world running out of oil? No, there is plenty of the stuff. At today's oil prices, all the producers are adding capacity as fast as they can.
New wells are being drilled. Old wells are being re-opened. They're also busy trying to squeeze oil out of sand, tar, rock, turnips, or at least, find substitutes.
In the United States, one of the substitutes, ethanol, is becoming a major swindle. Of course, it takes more energy to produce a gallon of the stuff than you can get from it. And it costs more to make a gallon than a gallon is actually worth. But it's the kind of boondoggle that everyone seems to like.
US Congress likes it because the pols get to hand out more of other people's money. Farmers like it because it helps hold up grain prices. And a lot of other people like it because it sounds "green," and they believe the country ought to be "energy independent."
Oil
No question, oil is getting more expensive. And no question that with no further home equity against which to borrow, American consumers are beginning to cut back on discretionary spending.
Wal-Mart, where the the masses go shopping, has seen its stock sink to the lowest level in five years. Middle-American sit-down restaurants - Red Lobster, Outback Steakhouse, Applebee's, etc. - are seeing the worst fall-off in sales in industry history.
Retail stocks, overall, are down. Builders have taken a hit, with confidence in the homebuilding industry at a 14-year low.
Transports are sliding. All of which looks to us like the beginning of a consumer-led economic slump.
