Wait for the inevitable 21st century oil shock in the other direction, as in over $200 a barrel or something. We eat oil today, bad planning. All it takes is a few Allah Ackbars over there in the ME, a Russian bear gone berserk, a rogue China...the possibilities are endless.

This. Also it would be even cheaper if the government wasn't giving farmers billions of dollars to produce less food
Here's why. Higher population equals higher demand.
Short answer? Jews.
