So far all I have heard from Reid, Pelosie and the Obamameister is :
1. Higher Gasoline PRICES
2. More taxes on Gasoline
3. More Bicycles
4. More Taxes on alternative energy usage
5. Anything to spread the pain to business and citizens
The root cause of the problem is that we need more energy.
Riding bicycles, taxing the evil oil companies, and establishing a Federal Department Mandating Proper Hitch-Hiking Tecniques will do nothing to address the problem that we need more energy.
Try drilling for more oil and building refineries and nuclear power plants.
That will get the job done.
Bicycles won’t work for the elderly! My mom and her husband are in their 80s they cannot ride bikes. I am 57 and I don’t even ride bikes anymore. We have NO public transportation here in Lake Jackson Texas NONE. There is only one Taxi service here and it is in the next town. You drive your car or you don’t go. I have the AC so high now that I am sweating indoors. When I run errands, and I started this when gas was 1.50 a gallon, I plan my route, all right turns. If I miss a stop, I wait till NEXT time I am out. My car stays in the garage almost ALL the time now.
