"I was referring to the price and demand changes over the past year" Yeah, so was I...... No you were conflating the past couple weeks and the past year. "Yes, prices are falling now. If they fall enough, you'll see demand start to rise again." No shit, Sam Spade... And if they rise or are taxed heavily we'll see conservation increase, wont' we???? Good, you're beginning to understand how price and demand relate. In past posts, you've seemed to argue that falling prices lead to lower use. Denmark is energy and oil independent....they tax gas to make it $10/gallon and then return the money as a tax rebate.... Just for the record, you do want our gas to cost $10, don't you?
