General Discussion

Oil is a finite resource. Sooner or later the cost of extracting the few remaining drops will exceed our ability to pay for it.

We need to start learning to live with less of it if not live without it.

I remember the 1950s. Gas was cheap, maybe cheaper than water. (I didn't pay the water bill, but I remember going to the gas station with my Dad.)

Those days are gone. Sorry you are stuck with your gas-guzzling SUV, but I warned you way back when it was already costing you $50 just to fill the tank.

Just think of it. You can continue to fill the tank on your SUV and use it for transportation, and then when you find yourself paying so much for gas that you can't meet your mortgage, you can move out of that oversized house you don't really need and sleep in your SUV.

How's that for thinking like a Republican?

Actually, I pity the poor Republicans who insisted on buying trucks and SUVs they did not need for their work and who now have to fill them up.

I'm for public transportation.
