Hey, thanks alot!
I have been so frustrated lately (gas prices anyone) and I am terrified of Obama and this is a fine place to find all the articles at one spot. So far so good.
Hey, do you know anything about how the oil market works? Cause me, and everyone I know has certainly stopped driving as much with the price being what it is. And now summer is here, no schools using tons of gas. But the price of oil today is $143 a barrel? This is not making sense to me and what I know of supply and demand. Shouldn’t it at least be leveling off?
I know this is not what this thread is about, but I didn’t know who or how to ask this.
I like to look at it like this, regardless of what the oil market is doing: It’s possible to spend less on gas even at higher prices by consuming less. I think in the coming years we as a nation will have to become much more reliant on busses and trains. Until the infrastructure becomes operable, we must reduce our driving. How much can we cut back? Quite a bit in most cases. Sports and recreation will take a big hit. Gas most likely will not be going back down, and we need to radically adjust our thinking and driving habits to compensate. This will ultimately be good for the USA. We will learn to conserve, to exploit our own resources, and to reduce our exposure to foreign interests. We really need to draw together as a nation and hopefully this bit of adversity will start the process. Keep the faith autumnraine!
