Fuel prices are at the center of our lives. They affect our ability to travel, stay warm, and feed ourselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.
We as a nation have no choice but to conserve fuel to the best of our abilities or be prepared for harsh measures like steep price increase, if the need so arises.
However, it may occur that we will find ourselves using a variety of fuel sources to give us the energy we need support our lifestyles and boost our economy.
When it costs $50 to fill up our gas tanks, it impacts every aspect of our daily lives and the community.
With gas prices nationally, and especially in our area, increasingly on the rise, it is more crucial then ever that we take steps to diversify our energy sources and reduce our dependency on foreign oil.
We have gasoline at $2 a gallon. If that doesn't drive demand, I don't know what will.
The high prices also highlight the fact that the U.S. is too heavily dependent on fossil fuels that we import from unstable parts of the world. To protect our national security, we must become more energy secure.
We need to do more to conserve fuel or face tougher choices such as steep price increase or even quantitative restrictions.
One of the things we worry about when we cut the tax on gasoline is that it basically stimulates additional use.
Along with you, I have witnessed the unfortunate rise in gasoline prices that has accompanied the summer driving season and the more recent spike in prices due to Hurricane Katrina.
