I managed to find somebody yesterday who is optimistic about the US economy! . 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. And this kind of viewpoint really applies to other things too including the price of gas. 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 rising price may usher in a tsunami of alternative energy projects that will, in turn, lead to greater scale economies and perhaps the movement of alternative fuel sources into the mainstream. This would be a serious lemons to lemonade sort of scenario. The present scenario is that the high price of energy is doing some pretty bad things -- but if a shift to saner energy solutions results, this silver lining could be an epic and historic shift. The longer oil prices continue to rise, the greater the potential consumer shift. A rise of ten percent in fuel prices lowers consumption by just roughly half a percent in the short term, but it lowers demand much more substantially over a longer period of time As consumers decide on the important things for the future, such as where to live and what is the best vehicle for them to own, they are starting to take into consideration the price of gas into the equation. Some are choosing smaller cars or are moving closer to their jobs to lower drive time. The current situation concern has delayed or impeded many new subdivisons, high gasoline prices have lowered consumption and resulted in less purchasing of, and soaring construction costs are limiting new coal and gas plants. Meanwhile, economic incentives are generating a frenzy of new clean energy construction. But the truly fascinating thing is that all that is going on while the real solution to reducing of gasoline consumption and helping the environment through cleaner emissions is RIGHT HERE AT WATER4GAS
