‘Resource Nationalism’ Threatens the Future Availability of Oil
Crude oil is heading for its biggest weekly gain in almost two months as Gustav approaches the Gulf of Mexico.
According to Bloomberg: “Gustav is expected to reach Louisiana next week, passing through a region home to a quarter of U.S. oil output and 14% of natural gas production.”
