<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.
