Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Illinois speed traps

[philville dejazzd.com (philville]

   From the Brit,
   
   "I hate high gas prices but I will pay. I don't for a second expect
   drillling
   in Florida or Alaska will make any difference ever to what I pay in
   either
   the US or the UK. Any extra oil will be swept up in the global
   markets  and
   will just help China grow FASTER. Its the population folks that is
   the  problem,
   its growing faster than we are finding oil. The PRICE ISNT COMING
   DOWN."

   I think that most fail to realise the truth in the Brits statement,
   the only time we will ever see a consistent reduction in fuel prices
   will be when we finally discover sufficient alternatives to internal
   combustion then and only then will the need come down....but, due to
   the huge population growth in Asia and China, this will be a long time
   coming, 50 years will not surprise me, but I doubt that I will
   benefit.
