Do you think the rise in oil prices is bad?

The skyrocketing price of gasoline is exactly what the planet needs. No better solution to global warming could've been designed. With the increasing price of gas and the negative effect it will have on the global economy, the demand for fuel efficient cars and renewable sources of energy will be at an all time high. This is exactly what was needed to fuel the technological race for energy efficient vehicles and power production.





Although you may be struggling, don't feel too bad. This will be good for all of us in the long run.





Do you agree?Do you think the rise in oil prices is bad?
You are wrong about renewable sources if you mean bio-fuels.





Rocketing oil prices are increasing demand for bio-fuels and vast areas of Brazilian and Indonesian forests are being burned and cleared solely for the production of bio-fuel, because of this there is no benefit (only harm to the environment).





In addition the rising cost will just force oil exploration and drilling in areas formerly protected for environmental reasons


including Canada and the N.Pole.





We need government legislation to force the sale of hybrid only cars which will then force all auto manufactures to further develop the technology.





Remember, your pump prices in America are still very , very cheap compared to Europe so your consumers will be able to absorb considerable price spikes yet (and still higher consumption of petrol).





My feeling is that mass produced electric cars will be most desirable if the single charge diving range can be greatly increased (and for a low cost car purchase price).Do you think the rise in oil prices is bad?
Is it possible for us to go back to the animal days. Walk on foot, gather food in the forest. We have come a long way. I agree that we must find some alternative to oil as a fuel. Bio-fuel, was considered as a panacea for our ills in this area. But, considering the sky rocketing the food prices, there is a lot of hue and cry even against this. I think the solution lies in maximizing our utilization of the renewable sources of energy, like solar, wind and ocean energies. Research in these fields should be reinvigorated. Besides, men should learn to unlearn the dependency on the machine and to use his hands and limbs for locomotion and for other chores to perform.
No not really. It depends on the position that you are in. If you have the money, you can ride it out easily. If you can't afford groceries, or gas to get to work , it matters not ,how the future will be, it's the here and now that counts- can your children get fed? clothed? Can you keep the electricity on with the high utility bills? Can you run the air conditioner? The high is 97 degrees tomorrow? The humidity in Louisiana is a killer at the high temps. No, this is not good, no matter how it is sugar coated.
personally I dont agree with global warming, nor does the founder of the weather channel. Its almost June and Its SERIOUSLY been 45 degrees everyday for the past two weeks where I live in Pennsylvania. I know im in the minority however on that topic. I already had to send in the plates to my car and had to buy a bicycle. I live in a small town and there is NO work here. People cant afford 3.85 a gallon when the top paying job is $11hr. The town is about to be ruined
You really have to question Big Oils integrity. They are making TONS of money while the American people are being forced to stay at home because they have to buy gas at outrageous prices. (60 bucks to fill a car?) They come off as Communists if you ask me, talking the Marx ideology of ';Ah, it's because of supply %26amp; demand.'; in front of Congress. It's funny that they talk about that, on account they simply won't ';supply'; the demand.
I don't believe in global warming. Pole shift, yes. And there is plenty of oil on this planet for another 2-3 thousand years. I think this is being done to make a very select few very rich. (the high gas/oil prices).
yes, very bad.
Yes I do.I am sick already of hearing what other countries are paying.They have benifits we only dream about.I am a great study of history and I tell you someone is bringing America down and we aren't paying enough attention here.Our politicians aren't going to help us yet by the news I heard today.Its not only gas people its utilities,food,clothes,shoes you know life as we know it.You can't stay a superpower with no one paying taxes,this is jobs lost in my town.The reason given fuel and utilities are too high.Just got a 16% electric increase.This business had been here over 40 years,this is only the beginning.No I don't agree where are the new model cars? same as always.What is the price? same as always too high.Even the President said it would be at least 3 more years before those cars will be on the showroom floor.So why is gas so high? Again tell me?Three years is a long long time if it keeps rising and doesn't stop at a reasonable place.What kind of world do you think you will live in then? I can tell you one thing,you won't like it.So you go ahead and tell yourself how good this is,because it will be a nightmare.Think it can't happen in the land of plenty?Its already started.
