In 2005 and 2007, two pieces of energy related legislation with potentially far reaching consequences became law. A key feature of these bills was a federal mandate to substantially increase the production of ethanol over the next two decades. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, ethanol production has increased by an average of almost 22% per year from 2000 through 2007. The surge in ethanol production can be attributed mainly to three factors: higher crude oil prices; federal production mandates and tax incentives given to ethanol producers; and the use of ethanol as a fuel oxygenate to replace methyl tertiary butyl ether, which was phased out in 2006.

The International Energy Agency's monthly Oil Market Report came out negative today for crude oil prices.

Our 2006 crude oil price forecast is $59 a barrel. However, this may prove to be too low given that prices have averaged $65 a barrel year to date and are now $73 a barrel.

For any other market I would say the cure for high prices is high prices and eventually it burns itself out, but not in this case," [Rita Ryan] says. "I'm glad they're investigating the brokerage houses. I'd like everybody to be on the up and up, but that's not life. There very well could be some serious manipulation that's going on in this market and we just don't know. "In the old days, I lived that trading floor experience," Ryan says. "When there was a trade you knew what house it was coming from just because you were on the floor and you could see what was happening. In today's markets, where everything is done electronically, all of this has become very anonymous. You're sitting at your computer terminal and you're watching the prices go up, up, up, up, up and then you see some ...
