The Learning Curve:
Gas is over $3 here, I think. Refineries could be shut down for months. I suppose we'll all be consolidating our car trips, eh? And Netflixin' our entertainment needs. Shopping online??? Suddenly, drilling in ANWR and off the coast will be popular. And I heard that while crude may cost $70 a barrel, the comparable costs for nuclear energy is about $35 a barrel. So, maybe there will be a push to "save 50% on energy bills" soon.
Here's blogger
David Boyd with a similar sentiment:
This is what you get when you don't allow nuclear energy, demand different standards for gasoline, don't allow refineries to be built and don't allow drilling. What do you expect?
Jeff's Random Ramblings is concerned:
We're going to have to do alot of soul-searching in the next couple months about energy. How dependent are we on oil? How susceptible to disruption are we? Is nuclear energy a valid alternative source? Are we using solar, wind and hydroelectric energy in the most efficient ways possible? How close are we to having hydrogen fuel cells? It'll be interesting to see what those answers are.
