Would it be good if gas prices were raised?

haha thats what i woulda said. but really

i still believe that oil companies already are invested in their own company's future. as well as their responsibilty to their shareholders to maintain a hefty profit margin to be able to pay out dividends, why else invest but for the sake of knowing you're truthfully invested in something, but who does that, we want our interest earned. we WILL be seeing a transition, when, who knows, probably sooner rather than later, so that we can keep as much gasoline as we can so infrastruture that needs it the most can utilize it until a mass transition can take place, or at least thats what i logically think.. (you really think that the military is going to want to have to immediately rebuild all of their aircraft and destroyer engines to support some type of new fuel system all at once? it's going to take so much time.) oil companies are looking to the future just as we all are. now now, i hate paying as much as we do for that shit but it'll be a much nicer feeling when we all have electric cars and the gasoline ship has sailed. they'd be fools to not already know what there options will be for when the time comes. but believe me they're working on it, quickly and reasonably so that it will surely offer the greatest possible outcome for them, we don't have 100% biodiesl right now because we figured out it's not necessarily the most cost effective option. SO THEY HAVENT JUMPED THE GUN, some of the smartest people in the world are on that. . WERE ALSO GOING to alaska to get that humongous oil reserve covered in polar bear habitats, believe it. were already up there with ships looking at it, and surveying, and soon (lets hope not at least), drilling it. until then were going to pay up the ass while old predictions continue to play out,

and exec's make fat stacks, thats why they got the oil game on lock in

the first place hundreds of years ago, and the families involved

haven't deviated too far since. in the meantime we'll continue studying new species of hybrid trees and other propagated plants with the right qualities to turn our unused farmland in the country into farms for such uses. farmland which sustains crops only 3 months out of the year will be in year round propagation and will be proven to help the economy. plants or trees that can grow year round in a dense setting in a wide variety of climates immune to variations in temperature and water availability to ensure that they can be cultivated all over the world, and thus distributed to cost effectively from those sites. theres so many different routes offered by the imagination and the research underway. change dont come over night my son and it definnitely won't come with 10 dollar gas, no matter if you taxed it that heavily and then gave the money straight back to the citizens, or the state govt to produce mass transit infra.. theres a fine line between every driving force behind the economy, and the people that inevitably respond to it and the answer is not this kind of drastic price increase at the pump. and i bet that with all of the intelligent people on this site a better use of time than this thread would be one contributing creativity to alternative fuels rather than reveling what it'd be like if gas cost ten dollars, cuz i'll gaurentee you it'll never get that high based on oil company choice, sure they'd like to, but they know it's uneconomical for them to do that, unless our economy continues to fall accompanied by trending crude oil prices and our dollar actually becomes that devalued THEN it'll costs that much. -- wow i just wrote an essay, cool.
 
quite a few rural gas stations here in washington have analog pumps that top out at $5, so literally they cannot charge more than $5/gallon without purchasing new (expensive digital) pumps.
 
this is incredibly true, i saw that on the news in seattle (where i live) and they said that they might have to, if it gets that high, to begin saying it's 4.45$ (hypothetical) for a half gallon, wow. lol.
 
it was an add on to the statement you made about ethanol in the first paragraph. even with better conversion processes anyways, its not possibl to use ethanol as our only fuel.
 
im pretty sure itd be good for the environment but its not good for me financially. i have other shit i want to get
 
well you are assuming "global warming" is real

again, as i have said before, where is your food going to come from? NYC isnt exactly farm country... and gas prices that are through the roof effect EVERYTHING!

 
its not illegal to have a gas exceed pump limitations at least not here in montana. haha. my point is, we have a little tiny old mining town close to our ski hill and you can get gas but you have to times the amount of your gas purchase on the pump by however much the store tells you 2 because of the same reason that the old pumps dont count that high in price.
 
it would be good then it would be bad

global warming is a SCAM (bitchfest comin up)

it would be bad cause everyone would have no money

it would be good cause it will save the wales and anything else that mistakes plastic for fish or other reasons ect.
