Hmm gas dropping as an election nears? I recall a similar trend during the last election.

I think this is bad news overall. The pressure eases and things will go back to the way they were. People won't conserve as much, demand for alternatives will ease and we will slowly climb back to the same point. Although it is nice in the short run and will really help people short term, the long term effects are a bit worrisome. Especially given the lack of headway into alternatives. If alternative fuel was similar to our computing technology, we would all be driving cars with batteries the size of a deck of cards.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Me need a fundamental change in energy technology and consuption habits, and I fear the only way to get more people on board is very expensive fossil fuels.
