It only forces many people to modigy wasteful behaviors. I do feel for people on fixed income, though. Throughout history economic challenges have forced change in the preferred fuel supply of the day. We have adapted. Hi Kevin,

And by cost I meant all the costs including the health and environmental cost as well as for it's extraction and production cost. This is ancient sunlight that took what 400 million years to make and we're dumping the carbon dioxide and global warming on the next generation and the seventh generations to come. If we paid up front for that it would give us the incentive to design our lives and community that are more sustainable. We would have walkable and bikeable communities. Smaller vehicles. Healthy people. Life would be awesome!!! I think paying for the real cost of gas and oil up front is definitely the way to go.

I challenge ANYONE here to come up with a single downside to ethanol (alcohol fuel), when done as described in the phenomenal new book by permaculture farmer and systems ecologist David Blume (see www.alcoholcanbeagas.com/?bid=2&aid=CD93&opt). Okay, there is ONE downside: the one-time $50 cost of a cold-start device to ignite ethanol on cold mornings in some areas. Other than that, ethanol done correctly sells for about $2.50/gallon, reverses global warming, supplies enough organic food to feed the world's population, cleans our air and waterways, triples engine life, revitalizes depleted soils, gets better mileage than diesel, eliminates the need for agrochemicals, provides full employment and local wealth ... and a lot more. VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING the mainstream hears about ethanol is a bold-faced lie -- our perceptions are being "managed" by the American Petroleum Institute (the PR arm of the industry), much as the American Cancer society and such organizations dictate what most of America believes about health.

Well, the timing might not be perfect, but you really ought to catch up...

I'm not a driver and until I was married, didn't own a car, walked or rode my bike everywhere in summer and took public transit in winter. I use cloth bags for groceries, try to eat local organic and don't eat meat, dairy or white vinegar. ;) However, my husband has moved from Waterloo, where he works, to Guelph and spends 45 minutes on the road twice a day to get to his job and back. His car is costing us a bundle and it is rumored that gas prices could be up to $2.50/L by next summer. Yikes! It has caused us to look at houses in Waterloo but I don't really want to move, and at hybrid cars. I’m actually feeling rising gas prices for the first time in my life.

This earth has plenty of oil, possibly a replenishing supply from the core of the earth. Russia has drilled oil wells over 40000ft. deep. It is just the power hungry elitists that control the price and supply. Of course, this said, we should still prefer solar, wind, etc. I believe if we drill for oil in on the Alaskan north slope and other places we will find that there is no such thing as peak oil.

I'm hoping to move out of Florida to a more walkable city next year. To learn more about the oil "crisis" I highly recommend reading The Long Emergency by James Howard Kunstler. Also see The End of Suburbia and A Crude Awakening on DVD.
