corporate greed, plus they too know oil is a finite resource, might as well make as much while they can off of this

Best part withthese situations is the prices shoot up right away yet will take months to go back down.

This doesn't make any sense. The best way to effectively combat electric and hybrid vehicles is to keep fuel prices low enough for the extra cost to not make sense. The most effective advertisement for the new technology was when oil was over $140 per barrel. At that point Prius' were flying out the door and dealerships couldn't give trucks and SUVs away. Expensive oil is counterproductive to continuing our nation's collective dependence on oil.

You would think. But think about it...If Electric/Hydrogen/Whatever takes over Gas powered cars..All the sudden those Speculators/Oil Tycoons/Everyone who makes money off of it...Starts to LOOSE money.


Makes sense, in a odd weird sort of way. I just dont agree with it.

What is there to not agree with? What you said above is exactly what I'm saying, I just carried it out to its natural conclusion. Nothing pushes people toward those "Electric/Hydrogen/Whatever" cars more than high oil/gas prices.

Going to see everyone buying the hybrids and smart cars again esp if this thing doesnt resolve quickly.

Again, just how the hell is oil finite? Or do you guys really believe the main ingredient is dinosaurs?
