According to the U.S. Energy Information
Administration, homeowners who heat
with oil will spend, on average, 8% more
on heating this winter due to higher energy
prices. One reason for this is unchecked
price speculation.
In October, the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission approved final
regulations that will limit peculation in oil
and other commodities. There is guarded
optimism that the regulations will lessen the effects of speculation on prices, but it
is still too early to tell.
