My Gas Tank, My Enemy!

By: GARKO

While the Bush Misadministration is totally deserving of our ire and disgust we do have to stay in the realm of what is true and they can’t be the only target if one wants to send for the reason that Americans are suffering with gas prices in the $3-4 range . But they definitely do deserve a substantial amount of the blame because its shortsighted energy policies mean the country is far too dependent on oil that is both ruinously expensive and ruinous for the environment.
There isn’t one reason or one policy or one administration to blame for oil’s dizzying price spiral. The demand in many countries including some larger ones like China and India means there is more demand than ever before. The turmoil in financial markets— driven in collusion by the White House AND the Federal Reserve — has contributed to soaring prices, as investors have bought oil and other commodities as stocks and the dollar plunge.
Not everyone is unhappy with oil at $100-plus a barrel. “Mouse That Roared” governments in countries like Venezuela and the Sudan are living the high life of oil riches and political protection.
If there is any silver lining to this very dark cloud then it is the shift in public awareness and also industry activity towards clean alternative energy sources.
Take cars. Until last December, Republican and Democratic administrations had refused to raise fuel-efficiency standards for 30 years.
Another reason, besides the most obvious… can you spell IRAQ?…that Americans are hated abroad is because we are known as obese consumers. The German and Japanese use just over half the energy of an average American by comparison. In Germany and Japan, per-capita emissions of carbon dioxide spewed by cars, power plants and other sources of energy are half those in the United States. In France, they are a third.
There is some motion in the right direction amongst us obese Americans. Gasoline demand declined in the first 11 weeks of the year for the first time since 1997. It’s way too little, too slow and the government lethargy is not helping.
A lot more needs to be done to prepare the American economy for a world of scarcer, more expensive energy. A good start would be to ensure that noone gets elected to the White House or Congress that has ties to the oil industry!
On an individual basis we can reduce our gasoline consumption significantly, help safeguard the environment and have our cars running better too by following the instructions made available to members of Water4Gas
