The policy director of Climate Solutions (based in Washington state and British Columbia) opines that rising gas prices have beneficial effects on the environment, and consumers need to be given the truth so as to make real changes in lifestyle.
"It's Econ 101: The more fossil fuels we use, the more costly they get. That's what the price of gas is beginning to tell us: the truth of limited supply."
"The president says we're addicted to oil. So does it really make sense to treat our addiction by trying to lower the price of gasoline?"
"Consumers can do something about high gas prices. We can buy less. We can drive efficient cars and cars that burn biofuels -- no free lunch, but an increasingly attractive alternative to petroleum. We can build thriving communities for people instead of cars and invest in practical transportation choices."
