- Conservation is the only way to quickly reduce prices.
- Period.
Dave - 'Increased Supply' and 'Reduced Demand'
is the only way to permanently Reduce Prices [.]
The one thing that personal 'conservation' does is to
Reduce your overall Personal {out-fo-pocket} Cost to
You in the Short Term.
OLD - You Driving 600 Miles @ 20MPG and using 30 Gallons
of Gas a Week @ $4.00 per Gallon with a Total Weekly Cost
of $120 for Gas.
NEW - You Driving 450 Miles @ 20MPG and using 22.5 Gallons
of Gas a Week @ $4.00 per Gallon with a Total Weekly Cost
of $90 for Gas.
RESULT - Your personal Reduction of 150 Miles Driven
by 25% results in a Personal Cost Savings of 25% ~$30
per Week.
The ONLY WAY Conservation Works : Is When It Is Done
Equally By All : That Takes Some Form of Mandatory
Restrictions {Rationing} on Gas Use Age for All Drivers.
- - - You are wrong. *Raising prices forces conservation

Raising Prices In-and-of-Itself Through Taxes and Fees :
IS A TAX HIKE and a Rip-Off of the Consumer [.]
Raising Prices Through Taxes and Fees -and- Providing
Incentives for 'other' Activities to Reduce Consumption :
IS GOOD ENERGY POLICY.
- - Conservation does not result in independence.
However it does result in 'less' Dependence.
- Whereas resource exploitation increases dependence.

Intra-Dependence is far better than Global {Imported Foreign
