 The Stop Oil Speculation Now coalition announced that it will be at the University of Nebraska football game today on a tour of several cities to address the toll that the coalitions ays unchecked oil speculation is taking on our country.

The oil price bubble is unfairly taxing American families and restricting our nation's economic potential, the coalition said.

While it is widely understood that supply- and-demand constraints contribute to price increases, there is another force at work, according to the coalition, rampant speculation.

“While there is no single, magic bullet that will solve this crisis, S.O.S. Now believes that it is critical to attain the proper balance between limiting excessive speculation, increasing the domestic supply of energy in an environmentally sound manner, developing alternative sources, improving efficiency and expanding conservation efforts,” the coalition said.

The Stop Oil Speculation Now coalition is an organization of industries, businesses, labor groups and citizens.

Affiliates include the Agricultural Retailers Association, the Air Line Pilots Association, Gasoline & Automotive Service Dealers of America, Northwest Airlines, Pinnacle Airlines and others.
