San Diego rush hour traffic

[quote=TheBreeze]I’d love to see $10/gallon gasoline. It would cause short term pain, but eventually most of us would get used to taking the “school bus” to work just like we did when we were kids.

It’s not like I (or most anyone else) has to drive to work every day. We just do it because taking public transportation to work is such a hassle. Double the price of gas and many, many more people will make that sacrifice of getting up a half hour earlier to catch the bus or the train or whatever. There will be a short-term shortage of mass-transit vehicles, but the free market will fix that soon enough.

More expensive fuel/energy leads to a much better society in my opinion. Much less waste, pollution, and conspicous consumption and more focus on things that actually matter.[/quote]

$10 a gal in gas would be good??

Why do democrats love to screw the low and middle class??

I know why. They want to make life miserable for them so they can blame it on the GOP so they can get elected and screw some more people.

Power is all the Socialists care about.

I think $10 a gallon would be great, and I used to believe I’m a conservative. These days, I wouldn’t label myself a Democrat or Republican.

$5 dollar a gallon gas is already changing the society in some very structural fashion:

More usage of public transportation
Less sales of gas guzzlers
People driving less
People thinking about living closer to work
Real interest in alternative fuel vehicles

Here are some other interesting changes that will probably come with $10 gas:

True production of alternative fuel vehicles
Re-booting the US Nuclear Energy capabilities
True development of mass transit
Higher density population centers rather than sprawl
Less mega-malls and acres of parking that people drive to
Heck, healthier population from more walking?

If we do the $10 a gallon via a variable tax, and the tax revenue is split evenly between public transit and health care, the US can make major steps in solving some fabric problems in our society.

What are you going to do for the people who can’t afford $10 gas??

No wonder Congressional Approval is only 12%. They don’t get it either.

Let’s see, Car pool, drive less, take the bus, walk, Bike, buy a small 50cc scooter and get there slower. Maybe move into a cheap rental near work or whereever they need to go?

You know, adapt. Aren’t humans supposed to be able to adapt to their environment?

out of 6 billion people on the planet, a portion of 300 million people wouldn’t be able to afford $10 gas. Europe has been living with close to $10 gas for a long time. Guess what, they continue to live, eat, and go places.
