Last night Charlie Rose interviewed the head of Exxon who said something to 

the effect that he could get as much oil as he wanted from anywhere any time he
wanted to.  The world market is awash in oil.  The Saudis control the price 
only because they have more than anybody else and can get it out of the ground 
cheaper than anyone else, but they can't gouge us because there is way too 

much elsewhere and no sign that it will stop flowing in the realisticly 
forseable 
near future, i.e. next 25 years.  If they try to raise their price above a 
certain level, others will happily rush in to fill the need. We have lots to 
worry about but cryonicists in US or Europe or anywhere else should not loose 
sleep on this one.
