re: #133 ggt

The only way that will happen is if the price becomes too high and people change their behavior because of it.

Then, they’ll bitch because they have to pay extra so the poor will have heat and lights… ..

NO ONE will will suggest the electric companies to use the xtra profits to research alternative oil prices, UNTIL they are hauled in front of Congress to testify as to why it was so important that their executives receive $1M bonuses.

Maybe, even probably but my solution is more radical. Every trinket we buy, every gadget, every processed frozen ready meal, every purchase encased in plastic wrap, foam packaging, etc., every light bulb turned on, every TV, every porch light, just consumes oil, energy and makes those ever so hated fat cats richer. Maybe if we started to live differently things might start to change. Maybe if we lived humbly, simply and modestly instead of flaunting our gross over consumption as a status symbol we be happier. I know it’ll never catch on but it’s a good idea.
