[QUOTE="Timm Hutchins, post: 804747, member: 61028"] Roger, you do have a choice. You could purchase an electric car. You could buy a horse and ride that, you could walk, you could ride a bike, etc. The only way those things are not practical for a person is if you choose not use them. You also could buy a converstion kit and run your vehicle on other products. Charleston SC does this with their cabs and other vehicles. Other choices are always out there. Oil is a traded commodity. Big Oil and/or OPEC can not raise the price of oil on their own and bring down anything. Anything that has its value determined on an open market can be moved based on regular people. You are seeing it right now. Oil has dropped over $20/bbl in the last two weeks. Why? B/c the demand has decreased and inventories have grown. This is based on regular people making adjustments to their habits. The other major force in oil prices seeming so high is b/c of the week value of the dollar. If oil was at $40/bbl now, it would be too low in other countries that have a stronger economy. They in turn would over buy and then stock pile it. The way for people to turn this around is to continue to support the economy. In particular, the US companies. General logic is to stop spending and hoard money during bad economic times, but that is the opposite of what needs to happen for the economy to turn around. [/QUOTE]
