With luck they'll lower the price of electricity, which can lead to lower costs for electric cars, hybrids, and hydrogen production.

gofan1 Rookie Author California Posts:18 Points:200 Joined:Jun 2006	Message Posted: Jun 24, 2006 5:26:58 PM Ignore gofan1 Report Abuse Yes, definitely. If they do not, the negative impact on the economy will be even worse than any money they could dedicate to finding a solution before social turmoil and unrest become the everyday event. Hit this thing head on. Get the oil barons out of political office first though, or else the funding will just lead to "failures".

thinkaboutit Champion Author Colorado Posts:1,069 Points:75,710 Joined:Jul 2005	Message Posted: Jun 18, 2006 11:42:41 AM Ignore thinkaboutit Report Abuse All those who complain about the oil companies get rich, yet oppose an increased tax, you are acting irrationally. Would you not rather see us collectively benefit from high prices rather than the oil supply chain. As we approach peak oil, prices will go higher to balance supply and demand. Without higher prices, demand will not be reduced fast enough. We could bring prices down if we permanently bought less! There is occasional wastage of money, but who is worse: government bureaucrats or private enterprise - how fast Enron, Qwest, Level 3 etc.etc. are conveniently forgotten by those opposing the higher tax! Sorry wrong thread! see taxes! [Edited by: thinkaboutit at 6/18/2006 12:44:25 PM EST]
