...over there!? Like here, in Europe, the prices are something like more than twice that of USA prices.
American people should stop whining, use less petrol, and go on with life.
5% of world population is in the USA. But... About 40% of gasoline consumption is done buy only that 5%!! So quit whining!!!
And live closer to your office, so you can take the bicycle or bike!!! Instead of that huge pickup truck which go only 20 miles for a gallon!
And use more wind, water, earth warmth, tidal and that kind of energy. That's all there is to it.
(BTW... I recommend buying a lotta motor bike and bicycle company stocks right now
)
Ofcourse i ment 'by', not 'buy' (typo).
"However, Europe has a much better communication system."
That's just a lie. Ok, you have Microsoft within your country, that's a shitty OS to communicate with. But USA has something like the highest number of computers per person in the whole world.
"In America, many people have to travel long distances by car because of necessity"
That's exacly what i'm saying is what USA should change!! Don't be so dependant on gas... Move closer to work! Buy smaller vehicles and take a bicycle!!
"with expensive house prices."
You people simply have no choice. If you DON'T move, you might go bankrupt.
"Since when is there a good system of widely available wind energy?"
Where did i say that? It's just a part of the solution! But a needed part!
"There's a whole different style of life in Europe"
Indeed, USA has the style of wasting way too much fuel. BTW, also Europeans aren't clean enough.
"you shouldn't be so quick to judge."
Quick?? How many DECADES did USA use way to big cars?
"We can't "move closer" to our jobs because there just ISN'T that kind of housing. Our Cities aren't set up like that."
Well that's exacly what i'm saying is what should change. You simply have no ADAPT. Like it or not.
Errors made in the past are no reason to continue using the land in the wrong way.
"We don't have many 'bike' lanes... our roads aren't bike friendly."
Well? What is USA waiting for? For $15 gas prices?? $45 gas prices?? Create those darn lanes!! Make the darn roads bike friendly!!
"if we wanted to adapt the changes you advise tomorrow, it would take DECADES to get the road, rail, and housing changed."
Tssssk... Are you THAT negative about USA potential?? Really, tssssk...
BTW, you can blame the extremely UN-environmental republicans in the past for not doing such environmental works. Why wait until it's too darn late??
"fuel guzzling military"
At the moment... I think the roles are reversed: bigger chance that some lunatic wants to invade USA! Lol...
"Sorry, americans are agricultural...(...)"
Can you please rephrase? The half of what you said, is very unclear.
"look well in Texas it is very cheap cause we are right by a oil field so i dont know about the rest of america"
Lol... You're just kidding, i know. But even if you could get it there without added taxes, refinement infrastructure costs, selling infrastructure costs, etc... Think of it, it's already almost $1 a liter, or $3.7854 a gallon - RAW oil price!! It costs a lot to refine the raw oil, to make it ready for car usage. So, anything under $4 a gallon is just plain cheap (at current oil prices).
"(When gas goes up, the price of everything else goes up,) so that effects us more than you would think."
No, i already thought of that. Almost everything has to be transported, so ofcourse that will cost!!
It's exacly what i'm saying... The bad USA habits should change. Not saying at all that Europeans DON'T have bad habits! They have too! But Europa is ahead. You USA guys don't want that, right? Well, then change behaviour better very fast!!
Well.. It can't take much time anymore anyway... Since in about 5 to 10 years, the oil will be so expensive, that no normal guy can use it to fill up the petrol tank anymore.
"...when one part of the budget suddenly doubles it is painful."
Well... With 'peak oil' already having arrived, what would you expect? Just don't believe the republicans, that's a VERY unwise thing to do... Although we are already at peak oil (or even have passed it), they still deny it and they will tell you oil will be readily available for many more decades. (Dream on.)
Republicans way too often have only short term view on things.
Ah, and i forgot: solar power too, ofcourse.
"Because we live farther from our jobs, schools, and stores and other necessities that we have to go to, and we have to drive there, genius."
I'm no genius. (Well... A small one)
But that's exactly what i'm telling you: those things HAVE to change. You NEED to have more and smaller schools, so you don't have to drive so far; you NEED to buy smaller cars; you NEED to use alternative energy resources, etc! Especially go live close to work, that will have the most effect. And tele-work.
But i'm sure you could figure out those and other things yourself. In the meantime: please vote for Obama, because republicans (faulty) think you can get cheap oil with war. While democrats are just some more thoughtfull about such (environmental and other) things.
"We don't all live in crowded cities, some of us prefer to live in rural areas."
Well... If people like to prefer to live in rural areas, wouldn't you think they should better find a job within that rural area? Seems logical to me.
"For most Americans, driving is as vital as food/water. Without it we couldn't work & support selves."
Well, that's what i mean: that's not a good system. People NEED to live close to work; we can't afford to neglect that logic any longer.
"Not every1 has the option of moving closer to work."
But, more & more, the option of NOT moving is worse.
"&, couples often don't work in same area."
That indeed is a big problem.
"Don't go insulting our way of life when you've never lived it."
I don't think i insulted that, but i AM critisizing it partly. I think proper actions should be taken much faster then is happining now... Don't wait until it's REALLY too late! BTW, for Europe goes the same!!
"The gas prices are hurting MANY hard-working American families who are now finding gasoline costing almost as much as rent. Our entire economy is at risk over this issue."
Well, you said it yourself: your economy is at risk! So, why does USA wait so long to take proper actions??
