Until the price of gas actually reflects the costs of extracting it and using it, (way more than the artificially low $3 or $4 per gallon we're talking about) the earth is in serious jeopardy. The only thing that will ever make people conserve is economic pressure. The price of each gallon of gas should include the health costs of smog, the long term costs of global warming, and highway construction and maintenance costs (including the destruction and fragmentation of wilderness). Then all government subsidies and tax breaks for oil and gas should be eliminated.
Gas really costs WAY more than gas costs now. We should be paying what it costs. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Bill Mixon" <billmi...@worldnet.att.net> > > Back some months ago, when gas prices were lower, I actually saw $1.99 a > gallon at one station.
