- 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 just as well as
some stupid rule.


* Conservation does not result in independence.


*Whereas resource exploitation increases dependence.


* *Not if you own the resource.


I assume that you've never been out to the tar sands . And if you need
to go out of your way to exploit something then you are still addicted
to it. And some may question the wisdom of having a oil rigs in an area
of considerable tectonic activity.
