Rising Gas Prices - The Optimists's Perspective

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 was quite a smart fellow who owns a print and copy shop and owns a masters degree in economics. No dummy. And what he said did make sense to some degree. 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. If one steps back and takes a deep breath and looks at the shocking increase in gas prices then they can apply this same brand of optimism. .
There is a particularly great advantage of the soaring price of oil which should be a cause of celebration amongst the environmental organizations: it is giving many people reason to look into renewable fuel sources, this is so much the case that the rising price may just be thing that the facilitates a major wave of renewable energy projects which could, consequently, lead to a greater share of the market and perhaps the movement of alternative fuel sources into the mainstream. This would be a great outcome.
In the current scene the high price of energy is having some pretty bad effects -- but if it can help shift the playing field to alternative energy, this silver lining could be an epic and historic shift.
The longer gasoline prices continue to rise, the greater the potential consumer reaction. A 10% rise in fuel prices reduces consumption by just 0.6% in the short term, but it lessens demand more significantly over a the long haul

As people decide on the important things for the future, such as where they want to reside and what is the best vehicle for them to own, they are beginning to consider the price of gas into the equation. Some are selecting smaller cars or are relocating nearer to their offices to lower driving.
The recent "crisis" has delayed or impeded many new subdivisons, high gasoline prices have lessened consumption and resulted in less purchasing of, and rising construction costs are restricting new coal and gas facilities.
At the same time, economic incentives are generating a frenzy of new clean energy construction.
But the most amazing thing is that all this is occuring while the real remedy for to lowering of gasoline usage and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
