ParticipantI think prices will continue to go up. Alternative energy sources for cars will take time, until then most people have no convenient alternative, and the oil companies know that. You have to remember that a large % of Americans live in rural areas or areas where public transportation is either nonexistent or extremely inconvenient. I’m lucky enough to live close enough to ride a road bike to work year round and the wife drives a Saturn only about 5 miles to work.
The pollution in China IS TERRIBLE, I’ve had to go there many times (Guangzhou, it’s near Hong Kong). You go outside for just a few hours, come back and take a shower, blow your nose and the tissue is all black.

ParticipantA business associate just came back from China. He made the same observation that the air was awful to breathe. He said he was told that they’re building a coal powered factory one per week. He also said that the Chinese told him and his friends that they’re fearful that the US will elect a “weak” president, someone that cant stop the terrorists. They are also worried about US imports dropping – not a surprise. But I was interested to hear of the Chinese speak of a “weak” president. We ran out of time and I didn’t get any more details.
Also of note, he told me that the Chinese mandated that one of his business associates automatically drop their profits by 17%. And they also formally requested – I dont think there’s a choice in the matter – that another business associate of his build another factory about 200 miles away. I asked him why would they do that and he said that the government wanted a different geographic area to benefit from local employment. You’re at the mercy of the Chinese government when you do business over there.
