We will stop using gasoline, in it's entirety, today!

During the past year, Shell's former CEO John Hofmeister as well as politicians including Gov. Haley Barbour, R-Miss., have cited Obama administration energy policies for rising gas prices.

The mainstream media is telling you that gas prices are high exclusively (do they say anything else?) because of oil speculation fears due to middle east crisis. I say that is the small part.

We use 10,000 gallons of oil a second! It's not a travesty, it's how we've been able to move fast enough to come up with cures to cancer, money for foodstamps, money to fund art centers, public broadcasting. Yes, we need an alternative. Yes, it is now a very serious issue we are working towards. How can we forget?

That being said, the transition will take place. Though I really would like to put myself in John Homeister's shoes, all I can really identify with him is the fact he has to supply 13,000 (Shell, and no, I don't work for them, I don't even drive) gas stations with gas. It's like feeding your kids.

HOW will he supply them? Do you want him to? Do you eat food? Did you grow it in your yard? Did you use water? Could you have any of it without gas right now? We haven't quit using gas, and could you honestly say we should quit using gas today in it's entirety?

I think it will be in around ten years when we may have carbon-nano-tubes that can help harness the full spectrum of the sun's energy with improved solar cells, or if I go into my garage with a pile of magnets, and a dream - then not come out until I have a solution. You may find a skeleton covered with magnets ten years later, but at least I'm not just bitching!

Look, I can't wait to quit using gas, just for the fact that if my dog drinks it she'll die. I think Obama is a wolf in shepard's clothing, and everyone who thinks America, and it's accompanying "most generous" nation in the world stature, should quit using all fossil fuels (even natural gas?) immediately, are blind to the blood they will have on there hands. Would you drive your children into a lake if everything was going good? Well, who knows for sure about that one.

Don't support Obams, he will cut the nation's nose off to spite it's face.

The Electric Vehicle Acceptance Tipping Point: $5-A-Gallon Gas

It would be a disaster economically, upsetting family budgets and making the transporting of goods potentially next to impossible. But according to a new survey by Deloitte, it could take something as extreme as $5-per-gallon of gas to persuade most U.S. citizens to abandon gas stations and SUVs and buy electric vehicles. Do we have to destroy this village in order to save it?

For most of the last month, the national average gas price in the U.S. has nudged upwards every single day--it's now at around $3.83 per gallon. In six states, including New York, the average price is above $4, with Hawaii topping the list at $4.48 per gallon. And there are reports that a few stations have already hit the $5 mark. It's all thanks to a gradual but continuous rise in the price of oil on global markets--up 48% since last Labor Day. This upward creep is driven by many things, including market fluctuations, decisions about production made by OPEC, and the rise of civil unrest in the Middle East (especially in Libya, which has ceased its oil exports during the civil war). And yet, despite these growing costs, and the fact we know for sure that every mile we drive in a car that eats gas or diesel, we're actively contributing to global warming, many of us continue to drive cars.

What will it take to change the situation, pushing most Americans to ditch their SUV and buy an eco-friendly electric car? An arbitrary price limit, that's what--the point at which gas hits $5 per gallon.

That's what Deloitte found after interviewing 12,000 people worldwide, with more than 1,000 respondents in the U.S. The main conclusion of the survey is that the higher gas prices go, the more consumers favor the notion of electric vehicles. That seems like a no-brainer (even someone poor at math can imagine the increased cost of running a car as gas prices rise), but it's still an important conclusion given that gas prices are definitely increasing and unlikely to drop any time soon.

When gas hits $5 per gallon, 78% of Americans surveyed said they'd consider purchasing an electric vehicle. But U.S. consumers actually expect to have their cake and eat it: Over 50% aren't willing to pay any premium at all for an electric vehicle over a gas-powered one, and over 77% expect to pay less than $30,000. The average consumer also expects EVs to be able to cover 200-300 miles on a single charge, versus the current truth of around 100 miles. And 60% of Americans said two hours or less was the maximum they'd be prepared to wait for a full battery charge, (only 23% of responders said the typical overnight charge of 8 hours was acceptable.)
