<All> Mo'Gas prices



<Warning: semi-political content, aka: Opinion, contained herein>

I've been saying for years that gas is unrealistically cheap here in 
the US...just look at the rest of the world.  I also don't expect that 
to last long, so the current prices don't surprise me a bit.

Oil is, of course, a finite resource.  I expect prices to steadily 
increase from now on...and frankly, I expect some wars when the 
supply really gets short.  (I actually met a guy last summer who 
swore that oil would last forever and we'll always be able to find all 
we need.  I was kind to him and didn't bring up any subjects 
requiring actual cognition...)

I think that finding alternative fuel sources (NOT electricity, which is 
nuclear or coal-generated power in disguise) for individual 
transportation is extremely important, but I don't think the US will 
put enough funding into research to produce results until gas in the 
US hits perhaps $2.50 per gallon and stays there.

In the meantime, I drive my Z, my Audi and my gas-guzzler truck 
and enjoy them all.  As gas gets more expensive, I'll make my own 
decisions about how much fuel I want to feed my transportation. 
That's the 'Murrican way.
