"The world should forget about cheap oil"

That's a quote from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, from a CNN article about Iran's President Mohammad Khatami's three-day visit to Caracas which begins tomorrow. While CNN's article isn't as hostile to Chavez as a typical Washington Post article, they still choose as their Venezuelan expert a Chavez-hating former member of the old plutocracy.

BTW, WIIIAI informs me that rising energy costs will be the topic of tonight's Nightline on ABC.
