Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

Frugals is great for real live homesteading & preparedness info – not weekend hobby farm “homesteaders” with 2 incomes.
AZGrammy and goatlady are the guruess’ of living simply!
Be sure to check out the homesteading & preparedness forums and not just the general discussion thread, which may turn some people off. _________________ Make a plan and work it:
