Soaring Gas Prices – A Blessing In Disguise?

I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . He was quite an intelligent individual 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 says that the crash of the dollar means that the US can export goods again and be competitive and that this will usher in a new era of revitalized manufacturing in America and ultimately cause a financial boom. 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 lofty price of oil which should be a cause of celebration amongst the environmental organizations: it is making alternative energy much more attractive, this is so much the case that the high price may usher in a major wave of alternative energy projects that will, in turn, 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.
Overall, the high price of energy is doing some pretty bad things -- but if it can help shift the playing field to alternative energy, this silver lining could be an epic and historic shift.
The longer oil prices continue to rise, the more substantial potential consumer reaction. A 10% rise in gas prices lessens consumption by just 0.6% in the short term, but it reduces demand more significantly over a longer period of time

As consumers make major spending decisions, such as where to live and what type of car they want, 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 cut down on drive time.
The current situation "crisis" has halted or slowed many new subdivisons, high fuel prices have lessened consumption and resulted in less purchasing of, and high construction costs are limiting new coal and gasoline facilities.
Meanwhile, a shift in government subsidies from the oil industry to alternative energy sources are generating a frenzy of new clean energy construction.
But the most amazing factor is that all that is going on while the real solution to lowering of gasoline usage and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
