Exactly, increased oil prices will cost jobs and stall growth. Someone mentioned wind turbines for power, 400 + gallons of oil per turbine changed at least annually. Oil based products for plastics. Transportation costs will increase. The port I worked at had 14000 trucks travel through the terminal daily, these trucks are supplying stores we shop at. All price increases and tax increases will be passed on to the consumer, Also with reduced US production we will allow the major oil producers begin to control the crude market again by making production cuts. All will spin into a cycle we all have experienced before. I will leave the national minimum wage increase for another day.
Thanks to all for staying on topic and not turning this the wrong way.
