In fact, I agree with Bloomberg in that fuel prices are way too low by about 2 dollars at least. When people learn to adjust their lives, it will be hard for a few years, but it will be better in the long run for everyone. People will then think about what they absolutely need oil for.Have you completely forgotten about the other problems caused by rising oil prices? Such as...higher costs of EVERYTHING? Not to mention transit's costs keep rising, and it doesn't get more funding although it's packed with more people than it can handle at times. It's not just about people driving from point A to point B. Our economy relies on the oils - it's just up to us to find alternative sources, and hopefully sooner rather than later. Speaking of driving, not everyone lives near decent public transportation. There are rural areas, etc. Also, you can't necessarily get away without having access to a car in some professions - you just have to go to too many meetings and do too many things, etc. Drilling can't be the primary solution, however, because it would take time for us to see the effects. We need to continue to work towards alternative fuels, such as CNG, to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. In fact, the Honda Civic is available as a CNG vehicle! |
