papa george would have called in some favors with his cheek kissing handholding buddies if they had any ability to do something about it. it will never be significantly cheaper than this again. the $ is crap conventional production is/has peaked us recession leading smaller global recession might extend the plateau 2-3 more years. time to start putting some real $ into developing alternatives and bringing them online, while there might still be the means for the infrastructure overhaul- unfortunately, we spent about $2T in the desert that could probably have found some solutions already. oh well. will people FINALLY start to get vocal about this if prices stay above $3.25 ?

Who can I yell at? everyone you see driving as a single passenger in 8-10 mpg vehicle for a 1/2 mile grocery trip. people who invented suburbia and the commute your elected officials desert golf course designers the rich.

[Politics/Religion] Post by: Fuzzy on March 05, 2008, 10:14:25 AM I've actually started to hear people talking (seriously) about biking to work, etc. so I know it is starting to get more attention. But it's not a viable option for most.
I think it needs to be >$4.00 to answer your question on when people are going to get more vocal. And even then it's not going to be vocal as in "Alternative energy NOW" or "more mass transit options" unfortunately. I think it will be more "make my gas prices lower!!"
