Todays Presidential "statement of the day"....

The bottom line is this: Regardless if you like or dis-like or even blame GB for the price of gas, I think we all can agree that none of us like to see the price of gas go up and up and up..... So my question is this: Is there anything we can do about about it? Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I think we've all heard / read things such as: "Nobody buy gas on a certain day" or "sell your SUV" and stuff like that, but in all reality many of us can't go out and just "sell" the SUV, it's not that simple (ie... for example, many are "upside down" on vehicles....just looking at it from a realistic point of view here), another suggestion that many would say is to "dont drive so much", yeah, that too is much easier than it sounds. So again, my question is: Is there "REALLY" anything we all can do that would ensure that the price of gas doesnt go up? Im almost to the point where I wouldnt mind getting on a bandwaggon of a large / growing group of average consumers who throw around and actively toss around / try new ideas. I think that in situations such as this, the only type of muscle we as consumers have would be to combine as one entity (masses of people rebeling in some way or another).

It's supply and demand that is all. The only thing to do is demand less of it.

In the absence of some major technological breakthrough, the only real option is re-model society more efficiently. Different, more energy efficient construction techniques, higher density living closer to city centers and places of work and start spending money on rails and clean efficient public transport, instead of foreign nation building and imperial projects.

Until then, you want to drive the SUV, you have to pay.
