May I give an unpopular view of cheap gas?? I certainly have benefitted with every (Costco) fillup... but: 1) It is killing investments in alternate sustainable fuel development and sales who's costs are equivalent to >$80 barrel in crude. Okay, it takes a chunk out of dirty toxic North American domestic supply including fracking that helped Bush and Obama's economies in the short-terms, ongoing business destruction of which advantages foreign crude exporters in the long run like the Saudi's, which understandably complicates matters. 2) Fossil fuel based gas should be taxed NOW for all the costs it creates like repairing roads & bridges, with vehicle registration fees based on the size/weight/pollution of the vehicle - DOH. 3) It LOWERS politicized numbers for ACTUAL inflation that real people face everyday as manufacturing and distribution oligopolies raise the price of non-discretionary goods at a rapid pace. If you shop, you know what I mean - the box stays large, the contents (and the useful info on labels) shrink (and processed Monsanto-ization increases.) Those $4 burritos at the trucks have climbed to $7 and they don't give out the free RED OR GREEN picante fer' crissakes. Decent burgers around here are $8-$15, and its not just the grassfed beef. It happens here first, and its coming to a café near you. 4) If you want proof of the anti-competitive nature of corporatocrisy and lack of competition today, note how while gas has fallen, a quart of motor oil continues to rise to the MOON, Alice. So, how is that?
