Oil prices and Hurricaine Wilma
This is a very short article published by The Financial Express titled : Oil, fuels fall as Wilma heads away from oil-producing regions
Good news for those of you who commute daily.
Although gas prices rose on October 17th in anticipation that oil producing areas in Texas and Louisianna, the path of hurricaine Wilma is such that gas prices will not be greatly affected.
This is in contrast with Hurricane Katrina and Rita, which shut down 30% of our nations oil supply.
Overall, in the month of November we should be expecting to pay less for gas.

Another article for today that I feel is worthwhile:
Keeping Wisconsin supplied with energy won't get any easier, by Tom Still.
Energy seems to be a dissability in the state of Wisconsin due to "creaky transmission systems and our vulnerability due to our dependence on coal, oil, and natural gas." Young companies are currently working on hydrogen fuel research, conservation strategies, and passive solar energy in hopes of some day creating more energy and decreasing Wisconsin's dependence upon external energy sources.
