OPEC's mission is to coordinate and unify the petroleum policies of Member Countries and ensure the stabilization of oil markets in order to secure an efficient, economic and regular supply of petroleum to consumers, a steady income to producers and a fair return on capital to those investing in the petroleum industry.

Also I'm not denying the growth of China. I understand that the resources are being used faster because of their growth. Still you can not deny the record profits and the ridiculous prices for a gallon of gas when Gas started as a byproduct that would be discarded............ next post I have some info for you so you see where I'm coming from. Mind you I'm a pipefitter and work in Refineries...... Of course that doesn't make me an expert by any means but it does open your eyes to the truth's about gasoline.
