Let’s Celebrate $4/Gallon Gas

By: GARKO

I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . He owns a print shop and has a masters degree in economic studies. And what he said did make sense to some degree. He forecasted that the devaluation of the dollar is a blessing which will lead to more exporting from the US being possible and that this will lead in the next year or two to a new boom in manufacturing in the USA. I hope he is right. I am not so sure. But it was at least good to meet someone who has an optimistic viewpoint about the American economy and where it is headed. And this kind of viewpoint really applies to other things too including the price of gas.
There is a particularly great advantage of the high price of oil that environmentalists should be celebrating: it is making alternative energy much more attractive, so much so that the high price may open the door, finally for a tsunami of renewable fuel source projects which could, in turn, lead to a greater share of the market and perhaps the movement of alternative fuel sources into the mainstream. This would be a serious lemons to lemonade sort of scenario.
In the current scene the high price of energy is doing some pretty bad things -- but if it can help tilt the playing field to alternative energy, this silver lining could be an epic and historic shift.
The longer fuel prices remain at prices most people consider unacceptable, the greater the potential consumer response. A 10% rise in fuel prices reduces consumption by just 0.6% in the short term, but it can reduce demand much more substantially over a the long haul

As consumers make major spending decisions, such as where to live and what type of car they want, they are starting to factor the price of gas into the equation. Some are opting for smaller cars or are relocating nearer to their offices to cut down on driving.
The current situation "crisis" has halted or impeded many new subdivisons, high gas prices have lessened consumption and restrained purchasing of gas-guzzlers, and rising construction costs are limiting new coal and gasoline plants.
Meanwhile, a shift in government subsidies from the oil industry to alternative energy sources are creating a frenzy of new renewable energy construction.
But the most fascinating factor is that all this is occuring while the real workable method to lowering of fuel usage and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
