Reply #123: Yes, we will all suffer but I for one am not gloating [View All]

It's the only way that will force change. Telling people the Saudi oil fields are not going to last forever does no good, telling people resources are finite does no good. It's like we live in fantasyland in this country and no one wants to deal with the facts and we have to conserve what little is left on this planet. I wish people who have SUVs and other guzzlers had to pay an extra tax of about 5 bucks a gallon because they are the ones who are the most wasteful. The poor people are the ones who will be hurt the most in this and that is not fair.
