A Great Benefit Of Gas Prices Climbing

By: GARKO

I met someone yesterday who is the most optimistic person about the US economy that I have met in well over a year since all the bubbles started bursting. He owns a print shop and has a masters degree in economic studies. His viewpoint did make sense. 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 hope he is right. I am not so sure. But it was at least good to meet someone who has an optimistic viewpoint about the American economy and where it is headed. And this kind of viewpoint really applies to other things too including the price of gas.
There is one great benefit of the unprecedented price of oil that environmentalists should be celebrating: it is giving many people reason to look into other fuel sources, so much so that the rising price may usher in a tidal wave of renewable energy projects which could, in turn, lead to a greater share of the market and perhaps the mainstreaming of alternative energy. This would be a great consequence.
The present scenario is that the high price of energy is having some pretty bad effects -- but if a movement towards cleaner energy solutions results, this silver lining could be an epic and historic shift.
The longer gas prices continue to rise, the greater the significance of potential consumer shift. A 10% rise in gas prices reduces consumption by just 0.6% in the short term, but it lessens demand much more substantially over a the long haul

As folks make major spending decisions, such as where they want to reside and what is the best vehicle for them to own, they are beginning to take into consideration in the cost of fuel. Some are selecting smaller cars or are relocating nearer to their offices to lessen driving.
The recent concern has delayed or impeded many new subdivisons, high fuel prices have cut consumption and resulted in less purchasing of, and high construction costs are limiting new coal and gas refineries.
At the same time, a shift in government subsidies from the oil industry to alternative energy sources are generating a frenzy of new renewable energy construction.
But the truly amazing thing is that all this is occuring while the real remedy for to lowering of fuel usage and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
