Energy outlook grim as prices surge in November boom
Wholesale fuel prices jumped about 3 percent faster in November than any prior month, the Labor Department reported, pushing gasoline and refined products up 34.7 percent for the month and fuels up 19.1 percent. Officials warn prices may rise further, with refiners allowed to lift heating oil by about 7 percent in January. Truckers complain of gouging and lane closures as markets slide and a Midwest snowstorm adds to energy strain. Senator Kennedy urged Western nations to cooperate to avoid a cutthroat oil scramble.

Ukiah Council Pushes Back on Airport Land Grab
Backed by agri business leaders, the Ukiah city council signaled disinterest in acquiring about 500 acres of prime flood plain land at roughly 2,500 dollars per acre for a new airport. Councilwoman Pearson warned open space is scarce and urged considering vacated MSH farm land for a future park or general use. The panel referred the matter to County Administrator Beltrami and supervisors to gauge interest in MSH land as a county airport site or other use, amid concerns over noise, loss of prime ag land, and long term economic impact.
