Good. I hope they climb even higher than that and stay up there. The more oil prices rise the more economically viable it becomes to develop alternative energy sources. And once it becomes profitable to invest in these, capitalism will take over and new technologies will flourish. Conversely, as long as oil is cheaper than any alternative and there is no free market incentive, we will never stop importing oil.
Yes, I do realize that this would hurt my wallet for a while. But skyrocketing gas prices are not only the most effective route to independence from foreign oil, they are the only route to independence from foreign oil.
