Crude Oil prices in the U.S. have risen $9 dollars per barrel since Sunday, closing today at $134.45 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. This week's increase results in an additional loss of $90 million dollars per day from the U.S. economy – more than 25 times the amount the Department of Energy currently spends on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
