Too true. I hate high gas prices. At the same time that I cringe while filling up, I try bring myself to say a word of thanks to the same high prices for getting closer to something more realistic to the cost of gas and more importantly, (hopefully) fueling interest in new techonology and conservation. ABC did a story on this company, that is entering the market with a fancy sports car, and plans to release more and more affordable cars each year, that do not compromise style or function while eliminating gasoline. Then we just have to do something about where we get our electricity from. I couldn't find the ABC link again but I found the company's home page.

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" <[email protected]> > > Back some months ago, when gas prices were lower, I actually saw $1.99 a > gallon at one station.
