Gas prices and the future....

[Oerets]

OK, I for one dislike the high gas prices. Yet know that the price at the pump is a false equivalent in actual reality to price of oil the planet and us.

If the true price of using fossil fuel products were to be told and believed. Horror would be replaced with panic rather quickly by the masses of the uneducated in reality.

Fossil fuel use is a crunch humans have relied upon much like a junky and a fix. The pushers of fossil fuels have addicted us and will kill us all if nothing is done soon. All to line their pockets.

If tomorrow the price of let us say chickens were to explode would there be a drive to kill as many chickens as possible to lower the price? To a level that replacement would be impossible? Chicken can be replaced in time yet.... Can the fossil fuels in the ground! Are we going to in time be held hostage if not already to the ones who have the supplies?

Humans have shown time and time again that they will use up, deplete resources. Well some human societies that is..... We just don't have another planet to move on to at this time.


So with the high fuel price right now. Better get use to it. For the outlook was told, not enough were listening who mattered.

Short time comforts over a long term one.


OBTW water is next.....

Reads like a resignation. The implication being that one should not complain or point to ways to ease the situation.

For starters. What are the implications of exporting energy?

Someone gets to make money doing it. Since when does capitalism care about anything else?

I'm complaining, yes the price yet realize the selfishness in this. For the solutions are there to lesson the dependency on fossil fuels. Just the shift to plastics in our everyday life with little being recycled in earnest. The throw away society is not sustainable.

Increasing drilling, pumping, to feed the use of fossil fuels is a short term price fix. One that ends in a rapid calamity when supplies wain. Or controlled by governments with ill intents, even more so then today.

If by exporting energy one was to look at the science, tech and manufacturing. The country that figures out the future power sources will control the century ahead. I feel this country by staying on the fossil road is allowing other countries to take full advantage. Of the advancements made right here in our industries and collages, yet are ignored in favor of the cheap oil.


Look at the over fishing in the oceans are barometer. The catches are decreasing along with diversity of species. Factory processing ships are decimating the catches. Climate changes are also playing into the declines.

Doing something like eliminating plastics or actually recycling would be a good start. Price to is the main reason plastics are not recycled. Cheaper to make new then recycle.
