High Oil Prices
If it weren't for the severe economic shock to millions of folks , I say oil should cost twice as much. Then maybe even the monkey could be taught to turn off the tap, turn out a light when leaving a room, drive fuel efficient vehicles, insulate buldings above required standards. Reducing demand for this stuff is our best way to reduce the environmental devastation that we are all a part of creating. Wind & Solar are now competing with coal even under severe and uneven subsidies. The attack on renewables is escalating just when we need them the most and have always been a viable alternative for the planet except for the politics against a steadfast long term national policy to protect there development.
