Frank Holmes, it appears you were mostly right. The problem is that the dollar is not rising and may not any time soon. Today, a barrel of oil went up to $133.79!
Could it be that we have finally reached that point where how we consume this resource matters? Must we actually consider changing our habitual behaviours, like... driving? Should our city councils think about mandating energy saving measures for home builders, as Frisco, TX recently did? New homes in Frisco must meet federal Energy Star efficiency standards.
A small step, but an important one. This takes more than a city or a village. It will take a serious attitude towards a problem; much like a sore tooth, that just won't go away. In addition to a grassroots effort on all of our part; it will also take a concerted effort from the federal government.
