Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Price of Oil Reaches New High: $126 Per Barrel

HeadlineMay 12, 2008

In economic news, the price of oil has topped a new high of $126 a barrel. Anthony Grisanti of GRZ Energy says the price of oil could continue to rise.

Anthony Grisanti: “There are some factors that could cause it to go to $150 a barrel. Number one is, we haven’t even talked about hurricane season, which is going to hit us in another month, and we’ve been lucky for two years. One hasn’t hit the mainland. If one happens to get into the Gulf and starts hitting these oil-producing facilities, things like that, we could easily see $150 a barrel.”
