If the following article is true about gas prices going to $15/gallon
then why is everyone so worried about global warming?

At $15 gallon there would be much less gasoline/fuel used. We would
also see a rebirth of sailing, bicycling, walking, fiberglass
sailboats would soar in value, food would further increase in cost
and obesity would wane. I would even bet we would start seeing more
houses with windmill additions. We would see less stinkpotters, less
airplanes, less cars, less RVs, less ATV's. People would not be able
to afford to live in the "boondocks" so rural property would be worth
less. Housing developments may be torn down to make way for biofuel
agriculture. Governments would see much less tax revenue, they would
be scaled back greatly too.

Liberals and environmentalists should be leaping with glee at this
news. I am! A bright new future for rugged individualism!


It would only take the western world to leave their cars in the garage for 1
week to send crude prices tumbling like there was no tomorrow. 1 week of
staying at home, that is all it would take.
