$100 oil

Early in January oil broke $100 a barrel and then fell back. Then it broke the $100 barrier one more time and fell back but last week it really went up.

It's stayed over $100 a barrel for several days now and is currently at $101.84. You can follow the excitement at 321energy.

You can even buy jewelry celebrating this historic occasion.


Black Crude


In November 2007, Design Glut announced that when and if crude hit $100/barrel, they would produce
100 limited-edition Crude Necklaces in black. These necklaces would be a symbol of the end of cheap fossil fuels. The pieces were also intended to create a historical marker, so that one day, when you are charging your electric car with your children, you can say, "I remember when crude hit $100."

Maybe celebrate isn't the right word.
