I don't get the obsession over gas prices.

We will need to replace gasoline anyways. Shouldn't it be good that it increases, so other alternatives can compete more easily?

Um, and what exactly are those alternatives??  Ethanol costs just as much as regular unleaded gasoline in most places, and is no better for the environment overall.  Other than that... what are the other options besides getting an electric only vehicle that has to be charged every few hours by electricity that is brought to your home via coal and nuclear power?

If any of the "alternatives" could compete on their own merits without government intervention in the marketplace, companies would be scrambling to develop and distribute them.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
