There won't be oil ever again March 8, 2011
In a posting by Eileen Smith on her blog In the Pink Texas, she discusses in a humorous fashion that I personally enjoy, those darn gas prices. She is directing the post to anyone and everyone that has to use gas to get around. I think that her position holds merit because she personally sees how much more money it now takes to fill up her car than it did even a month ago. I always thought it was so funny that years ago people were freaking out when gas went to $2.00. Then after they went to over $4.00 at one time, it's like now they have us right were they want us, because we handle the lesser alittle better now. $2.50 starts to not look as bad in retrospect. I am alittle scared to see how high it will get in our hottest months this year. I heard something interesting the other day on talk radio show. We have been driving cars for alittle more over 100 years now. Check this out Current gas prices and price history. it took about 70 yrs. for gas prices to reach about $1.00 and in the last 30 years, well, you see for yourself. It's pretty interesting. I know that there are a lot of different factors as to why, I just never thought of it in that way. As far as going to our oil reserves, I do not think we should do that. I would rather use foreign oil any day, and pay more at the pump. Rather than use up our reserves and than something crazy happens later where we get cut off for some reason from our foreign supply, what will we do then. We need to keep our little stash put up as much as possible. in the mean time it would be great tp use public transportation more, and get more fuel efficient vehicles on the rode and hopefully get alternative methods of fuel on the market. It is crazy to think that oil is not renewable resourse and there are a lot of people on this planet that rely on it. It seems no longer an option to take action.
