A Question for Americans Regarding Gas Prices
by Heywood U. Reedmore -- April 30, 2008 at 10:10 am | In Questions We'd Like Answered | 1 CommentIt’s hard to take the populist anger about high gas prices seriously. After all, prices began rising sharply in 2000. It’s been eight years and still, many Americans (and Democrats in particular) are opposed to oil exploration and drilling in our own territory, building more refineries and building nuclear power plants – even windfarms (yes, I’m talking to you Ted Kennedy) – to supplement our energy needs. Is $4-a-gallon gas finally high enough to override NIMBY? If not, why are people complaining? We’re simply living with the choices we’ve made.
