As energy prices continue to escalate, energy consumers must start to face the reality of these excessive costs. It seems to me that energy consumers have an abundance of extra income to pay for the high costs of gasoline, heating oil and electricity. Since I do not believe that consumers have this abundance of extra income, severe cuts in other areas of their personal budgets will occur. Inflation which is apparently non existent in our economy depending upon whom you believe will only skyrocket in the future.
We as an economy and as a nation just do not seem to get it. We need to collectively decrease our use of energy and switch to alternative sources of energy such as solar power, windmill power and hydroelectric power. The solutions are simplistic and realistic. We need to take charge of our won futures if we wish to survive as a nation for the next two hundred years. Energy independence without big oil dependence. The cry of 2006.

We are living on borrowed time right now. We have blown through the $2.20 range to around $2.90 in just 2 months. News reports are now saying that $3 will blow by this summer topping close to $4 a gallon before prices EASE back down.
Exxon Mobil has now surpassed WalMart as the most profitable company in America.
We as a people must hold our leaders accountable to put together a energy policy that is tough, can be enforced and executed. If SUVs cannot get gas milage above 20MPG, then they must be taken off the road.
This is a matter of National Security now! Take action now or say good bye to the America we know and love!!
