There are few things that one can do to control the price of gas. One of the important ways we as consumers can ensure all is being done to stand up comedy keep gas prices in check, is to contact our government officials. If the people of a nation, state or province, contact their government officials and make getting cheaper gas a political issue, a few things may happen.
One thing that government can look at is possibly reducing the tax on gas, thereby making it more affordable. For the average person even having gas that is cheaper by two percent, can be a big savings in a year, depending on the amount of driving.
As well, it is important that our government ensure that oil and gas companies are being held accountable for the price increases we are seeing on the market. Our government has a responsibility to ensure that their people are not being taken advantage of, and that the spike in gas prices is justified.
Many would argue that driving ones vehicle is not a basic need, and therefore the government cannot obtain getting cheaper gas prices for consumers. I would agree that it would be difficult
to say that getting cheap gas is a basic need, but the impact of high gas prices could be astronomical. If prices soar to a point that the average person cannot afford, think about how this might affect the average person. Some may need to turn to public transportation, which means that public systems could be burdened to a point of not being able to meet the demand, thus
needing to spend many more dollars on increasing the capacity. Many people may quit jobs because the commuting costs are to high, meaning that unemployment rates could increase, increasing the demand for social welfare programs. The impact of these simple changes would have large effects on economies of all scales (locally, nationally).
It's important that we as consumers make an effort to contact those sitting in government offices, they represent us. We need our government officials to take a close look at trying to get consumers a cheaper price on gas. There is little we can do individually to get cheap gas, but together when may individuals contact our officials, we can ensure that our governments make
gasoline prices a high priority.
As President Ronald Regan said in one of his speeches "the government doesn't' solve the problem, they are the problem." I was watching the news this morning and a congressional representative from New Jersey was being interviewed about the outrageous price of gasoline and what the oil companies could have done long ago to prevent the current crisis.
One statement that stuck out in my mind was he stated that the oil companies have leases on oil rights that they've never executed on and he remedy was to introduce a bill that would basically force the oil companies to "use it, or loose it." In other words if the oil companies didn't drill within the first year of the lease they hold, they would forfeit that lease. Thank God there is someone with the cojones to take on the oil giants, or is this another attempt to fool us into believing there are actually some representatives that truly care and want to try and solve the oil problem, but nothing will ever get done.
If in fact he is true to his word than he is to be commended for his bravery in taking on the oil industry and all their billions used to persuade congressional leaders to leave them to their corrupt powers.
A Florida Senator also seems to be interested in something of the same type of alternative options for the oil companies. In his statement he mentioned the oil companies had over 10,000 leases off the coast of Florida alone and if the oil companies executed on those leases first they could be producing oil in less than a year, not opening new areas of oil reserves that is estimated to take 10 to 20 years to get to the refineries.
It's the same old spin that all the giant industries give to the American public and most of the congressional leaders are guilty of the same spin, and for obvious reasons. Don't tell me they could possibly benefit from big business, or could they? Oh no not our representatives, there's no corruption in Washington is there. Who was it that once said a perfect oxymoron is "honest/politician." I say if the shoe fits, wear it.
The solution are kits installed in your vehicles that extracts hydrogen gas from water and mixes the hydrogen gas with gasoline. This system is now habitually increasing gas mileage up to 50-70%. Naturally the oil industry doesn't want us to know about this kind of alternative fuel system because the hydrogen is FREE, that's right once you install the kit in your car or truck the hydrogen that is produced and used is free, no cost what so ever. The politicians that are working with the oil companies and protecting their kingdom also don't want you to know. Some may even go so far as to deceptively condemn the system and make up lies about its effectiveness.
Isn't it strange that the oil companies a year or so ago were touting a fuel cell that provided 100% hydrogen as the fuel. The main reason you don't hear much more about this type of fuel cell is that the oil giants with all their wisdom didn't count on the fact that other types of retailers that are not gas stations could also sell the hydrogen cells, therefore their monopoly would go out the window.
Well don't think for a minute that oil companies would handle any primary products that they would have to share the rewards to others because obviously it would destroy their fuel domination, and they will do everything in their power to stop anything that threatens their dominance over gasoline and oil.
The only problem for the oil companies is that the hydrogen fuel system started at the grassroots level and was kept quite secret until now and it's growing like wildfire so good luck to the oil companies to try and stop it now. One thing about Americans when we get pushed to the edge we become "a force to be reckoned with." I believe that in the near future there's https://en.search.wordpress.com/?src=organic&q=high gas prices going to be many issues that surface and the American people are going to demand answers and also require that our representatives become accountable for everything they do. Isn't it about time?
