I wish that were true Ross. However, this insanity has been brewing for many, many months now and still no reprieve. I still see more single occupant vehicles traveling up and down the highways and biways of my state. Today I saw motor homes, boats, motorcycles, you name it en route to the nearest lake or recreational facility or other out of town facility.
Until we are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to park our toys for awhile, stay home for all three meals, and buy locally produced gasoline, what compelling reason do the big oil companies have to reduce their price?
The federal and state governments are making more on a gallon of gasoline sold than the oil producers.
For the most part, we are spoiled rotten kids who talk the big talk but never walk the walk so to speak. We continue our bad habits, rarely making strategic sacrifices for the better good.
Everyone needs to take this crisis a bit more seriously. I for one plan on staying home more, attending the races at my local track and basically reducing my consumption
of energy.
If everyone would vote out the incumbents and basically give the big oil companies the finger by parking their vehicles we may have a chance.
Until then I am not going to hold my breath!
Sorry for the rant. Could'nt resist!
