Oil prices have certainly become a threat for the world economy.

I don't think we're going to see the price of oil going down in the near future, that's the reality.

We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil.

I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.

If the oil runs out, we'll be reduced to fracking Alex Salmond.

The one thing people seem to forget is the more oil we have, the lower the price and the lower the profits the oil companies make.

We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.

As long as the United States - and the world - gets its oil from the Middle East, we will be drawn into the endless crises that seem endemic to the region. American energy independence would not only liberate us, it would also drive down the worldwide price of oil.

It's not an if - we're going to have to change. Oil is simply going to be gone.

Our oil problems are only going to get worse. Our trade balance is only going to get worse. So we have to slow the growth of U.S. oil consumption, particularly imported oil consumption.
