Is Inflation Driven by Oil Prices?

Suspenseful, I did not forget anything. There are several alternatives that could be investigated and exhausted. People should never be sacrificed for mere material wants.

Suspenseful, very funny! Just how is Obama or anyone going to stop you and I from traveling? Chain us? While I am aware that in Texas, at least, we are being encouraged to ride metro which is now leading to mandatory registration of bus Q-card for obvious tracking, smart people like me still refuse to register Q-card and do not use a Q-card for more than two weeks. Suspenseful, please stop getting yourself all worked up over nothing from listening to republican propagandists! You do not have to live like people did in the 1930s and you do not have to "live like a very poor person". Poverty, by the way, my dear, is in the head: You are only as poor as you choose to believe. Besides electricity, wind, solar, recyclables, etc., Ford proposed alternative fuel for vehicles years ago that was suppressed by legislators in Ford v. Rockefeller. And, murdered scientist Eugene Marlove was a strong proponent of cold fusion and he believed we are at the stage where electricity could cost just pennies per month.

I do not want to live in my city and not be able to go anywhere else, even to another town for a vacation. I do not want to live like they did in the 30s and live like a very poor person. I think the former is what Obama wants for most Americans, except for him and his croonies. As for material wants, we do have computer don't you? The trouble with these alternative energy sources are that they do not apply over the board. For instance if you have a lot of wind you can have wind energy, if the sky is sunny for a good part of the time in your area, you can use solar energy. Of course, you can use coal what people used a long time ago. Ethanol ruins motors faster then using gas for cars and it raises the price of food as much of it is from corn. And I am sure there is someone who wants to make it from all the grain crops, since I do love oats, and rye ---well that would not be any good. And for the conversion process, it costs a bit to change from a gas powered engine to that fueled by electricity. And many cannot afford cars even now. And I am sure that there are no used hybrid cars in the market.

Additionally, nations with high demand for oil as fuel can simply learn to utilize other sources of energy. There are several alternatives to this "problem." Did you know that Ford had proposed an alternative fuel for vehicles that was suppressed by Rockefeller with help of our legislators?
