How to Keep Oil Prices Low

How to Keep Oil Prices Low

We have seen some huge spikes and dips in oil prices this year. Enough to keep my head spinning. Overall, the semi low prices are here and we should all work together to keep them that way until new energy sources appear.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK - Americans have significantly reduced the amount of gas they consume and it has really paid off, literally. Oil prices have dropped because foreign oil companies have realized that Americans do have the will power to "just say no to gas". I noticed it creeping up again in recent weeks, so lets stay dedicated to keep those prices down.

RIDE YOUR BIKE - Good for you, good for the environment and good for gas prices.

MASS TRANSIT - May be it is better than you thought. Instead of driving your boring car, now you can ride and read or talk on the phone. It makes me feel taken care of when someone else is driving me around and it is good for the environment.

KEEP ELECTRICITY USE LOW - Many electrical companies are run on gasoline, so if you are using electricity, you are essentially using gasoline. Try to keep your electricity low by turning off television sets and radios when you are actually in another room. Open your shades instead of turning on too many lights.

Everyone needs to do their part to keep oil prices low.

Keep Gas Prices Low

I think we have shown the big oil companies that we mean business, no more high oil prices. However, in recent weeks the oil prices have started sneeking up again slowly. We need to keep up our resolve, keep driving less, keep using alternative transportation and keep riding our bikes. It is good for our health also.

Of course we need to keep working on alternative fuel sources. A hydrogen powered car sounds great to me, but I am not a scientist. It does not look like corn based ethanol will be the answer, it is very costly. Let's focus on something new. Now the corn industry is driving the price up because they are being subsidized by our government. It is old technology already and we are not going to use it. Stop the ethanol craze now.
