NBC news is reporting the spike was based (still speculative of course) on an Israeli lawmaker's statement that an attack on Iran was inevidable.
They also reported that the rise today exceeded the price of one bbl of oil on this day in 1999. Less than 10 years ago....unreal.
I did hear yesterday on the radio that they have begun construction on the first new US refinery in over 30 years...somewhere in South Dakota.
