Reasons to Be Cheerful - Higher Gas Prices?

By: GARKO

I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . He was quite a smart fellow who owns a print and copy shop and owns a masters degree in economics. No dummy. And what he said did make sense to some degree. He forecasted that the devaluation of the dollar is a blessing which will lead to more exporting from the US being possible and that this will lead in the next year or two to a new boom in manufacturing in the USA. I don’t know if this is true. But it was nice to meet at least one sentient person who is also optimistic. And this kind of viewpoint really applies to other things too including the price of gas.
There is a particularly great advantage of the soaring price of oil which should be a cause of celebration amongst the environmental organizations: it is giving many people reason to look into alternative fuel sources, this is so much the case that the soaring price may open the door, finally for a tidal wave of renewable energy projects which could, in turn, lead to greater scale economies and perhaps the mainstreaming of alternative energy. This would be a great outcome.
The present scenario is that the high price of energy is doing some pretty bad things -- but if it can help tilt the playing field to alternative energy, this silver lining may end up being an amazing turning point in history.
The longer gas prices continue to rise, the more substantial potential consumer response. A 10% rise in gasoline prices lowers consumption by just roughly half a percent in the short term, but it lessens demand more significantly over a the long haul

As consumers make major spending decisions, such as where they want to reside and what type of car they want, they are starting to take into consideration in the cost of fuel. Some are opting for smaller cars or are relocating nearer to their offices to diminish drive time.
The recent "crisis" has delayed or slowed many new subdivisons, high gas prices have restricted consumption and restrained purchasing of gas-guzzlers, and soaring construction costs are limiting new coal and gas facilities.
At the same time, economic incentives are generating a frenzy of new renewable energy construction.
But the truly fascinating thing is that all that is going on while the real workable method to reducing of fuel consumption and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
