Since none of em perhaps recognized the obvious market signals in the early 70's...then in the 80's and the big bump in the late 90's....hmmmm wonder why dc never noticed the obvious?
Oil is cheap enough...even today.
Heck go out say 10,000 miles, and drill a well where it's 130 degrees in the shade or 40 below zero the next season. Haul that oil to a refinery say 400 miles down sand trail roads, then get it to a convenience store in say NM for $4 + per gallon.
Seems like there's really nothing to whine about. If it's to high, simply buy less of the stuff.
Granted alternatives are out there....but it's probably easier not to use those and simply hope the oil market goes down and the good ole days ( if there really were any for most )come back.
dc as a whole might want to get on a REAL alternatives type thought process, and forget the oil market ( markets tend to take of themselves quite nicely Without govt bse).
Granted a dc miracle now simply means gas at the pumps drops to say $3.50 per gallon ( and the voters will think it's a great deal ).
2 years down the road...gas will be 7 to 10...and likely we'll see this same article, once again.
And once again, the easiest route then is to hope gas goes down then too.
Alternative use of course in america will be fully steady.. None really used or applied, once again.
