Soaring Gas Prices - A ReasonFor Celebration?

By: GARKO

I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . He owns a print shop and has a masters degree in economic studies. 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. If one steps back and takes a deep breath and looks at the shocking increase in gas prices then they can apply this same brand of optimism. .
There is a particularly great advantage of the high 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 tsunami of alternative energy projects that will, consequently, lead to greater scale economies and perhaps the movement of alternative fuel sources into the mainstream. This would be a serious lemons to lemonade sort of scenario.
In the current scene 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 greater the significance of potential consumer response. A rise of ten percent in gasoline prices reduces consumption by just 0.6% in the short term, but it lowers demand much more substantially over a longer period of time

As individuals decide on the important things for the future, such as where to live and what type of car they want, they are starting to factor in the cost of fuel. Some are choosing smaller cars or are moving closer to their jobs to lessen driving.
The recent "crisis" has halted or slowed many new subdivisons, high fuel prices have lessened consumption and resulted in less purchasing of, and increasing construction costs are restraining new coal and gas plants.
At the same time, economic incentives are generating a frenzy of new clean energy construction.
But the truly amazing factor is that all that is going on while the real solution to improvement in gas performance and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
