Someone even complained on the news that he might decide to start using the bicycle because gas is so expensive!!! Horrors.
Higher gas prices are the best thing that could happen in the U.S. long-term, I feel. Finally we might get better and more efficient public busses and trains. People shouldn't complain about high gas prices; they should complain about poor public transportation.

Too bad no one complained on the news that they might have to start living without electricity or without heating for their homes. Maybe then they could just complain about how long it would take to integrate alternative fuel sources to power what underlies a major portion of our current existence. Meanwhile, higher prices would do nothing but harm the consumer. The real pressure needs to be on innovation and governmental allocation, without harming the people who simply rely on what's available.
