Why is the price of oil so low? And how long do you think it will last?

1. It's low because of decreased demand by the US, China, and others
It will stay low until producers cut production.

3. The world economy is one issue, but I believe it was speculators that drove it so high.

16. Plus they were only getting in all they could while the cookie jar was unattended
Plus the oily folks don't want an investigation of why the price shot up like it did when it did. The price will stay lower up til the threat of that is gone. Then all bets are off the table once again.

7. The declinding [sic] price of oil has already hampered alt [sic] energy investment.
Mission Accomplished. Americans will go back to buying big cars and driving too much.
And selfishly living in too much real-estate.
