All this troll does is posts the articles from the prometheus Institute
Is that you Matt? Matt Harrison?
Do you read anything other than the Prometheus Institute?
Is this about gasoline? What is gasoline, anyway?
All the more reason we should switch to diesel and Biodiesel fueled engines on a national scale. Ethanol alone just won't make it...........
Ethanol, the Great Green Hope for alternative energy zealots, isn't catching on because it's too expensive relative to gas. An easy solution? Make gas more expensive.
Ethanol has lower energy content and delivers fewer Miles Per Gallon. We already notice it with 90/10% Gas/Ethanol.
This means we have to buy more fuel than ever, by volume, and the article already agrees tha it will be still more expensive.
Therefore, a larger percentage of household income will be spent for fuels...Fuels that have lower energy content.
So in a sense, at least, the Arabs win a battle. Not the war, but a battle, at least.
If we CAN switch to oxygenates we need a more efficient and faster way to make them-Faster than a scaled-up moonshine still.
Is that a reference to Bill & Monica?
The perfect fuel?
BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
You mean like high gold prices deter gold mining?
Point 2: High gas prices will encourage development of alternative fuels, making them more affordable (and more appealing) relative to traditional fuel
True. Nuclear power still looks good while ethanol is a poor gasoline alternative and can't be economically produced in the needed quantities. Raising the price of gasoline won't change any of that.
Point 3: High gas prices make the United States safer
By putting more US dollars in the hands of Middle Eastern and anti-American governments?
What fantasyland does this author live in?
Maybe we can make all these people happy and just go back to horses and buggies.
Gas prices aren't high.
I say this because several women in my building go out to their cars and run their engines for A/C while they read during lunch. Everyday I pass women on the interstate in vehicles that get 12-15 MPG, if they are lucky, all by themselves. Based on that and the number of people that just loop around my block all day just cruising alone playing their boom-boom I would say that gas is dirt cheap.

How bout high food prices to force a reduction in consumption by overweight americans. This would also aid the "healthcare crisis" and take away the politicization of medicine from the rat party.
Besides having less expendable income to use on other things, like food and clothes? And that would be....?
From now on, every morning (and evening, maybe) I will get on my hands and knees and thank God (in his infinite wisdom) that he has bestowed upon the speculators, traders, oil companies, OPEC, the wherewithal to make my life (and all other Americans)so wonderful and pleasant thanks to the rise in price of gasoline.
I will now, have a big smile on my face and just love it when I go the my friendly neighborhood service station(s) and have to shell (no pun intended) out $80 - $90 to fill my van, which I use for business purposes.
Now that I've been so edified on why this benefits me, I will henceforth, (as opposed to looking for stations that were even 2 cents lower than others) look for the most EXPENSIVE gas I can find.
STUPID F'N LOONEY TUNE IDIOT!!!!!
