Comments on: Is the May 15 Gas Out Worth the Effort? http://www.greensahm.com/is-the-may-15-gas-out-worth-the-effort/ Trying to live green at home Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:45:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Jimi http://www.greensahm.com/is-the-may-15-gas-out-worth-the-effort/#comment-1600 Jimi Wed, 09 May 2007 20:17:43 +0000 http://www.greensahm.com/is-the-may-15-gas-out-worth-the-effort/#comment-1600 This idea comes up every few months and it is silly. First of all, gas is a necessity for many people. IF they have to get it that day they will no matter what they say. Second, all this will do IF it is widely used, which is a big IF, the price will just go up the next day due to laws of supply and demand. If no one gets gas the day before the stations will ultimately be overflowed with traffic and they will run out of their available supply. So...gas will be at a premium and the stations can stick it to you even more. Gas is not a luxury for most people. They have to get to work, get their kids to school, and get the life's necessities just to live. You are right that there are much better ways, but this is a lazy country and they won't be inconvenienced. It is more important that we support alternative methods of fueling our love of petrol. America needs to lead the world in alternative fuel production and take advantage of what could be an amazing economic boost. We have the minds and the money to do so. We just don't have the widespread support yet. This idea comes up every few months and it is silly. First of all, gas is a necessity for many people.

I'd just like to be able to do something but I'm not so sure how I can save gas. No one to carpool with and there's no way I'd use the public transportation in my area!

I've been thinking about this a lot lately (ran across this video news clip today http://www.thenewsroom.com/details/279912/US) and the Mat 15 idea seems like a good way to start. Thanks for sharing it :) If only everyone thought this way… but I guess the idea is that change can start small.
