Speeders and fast drivers are a major pet peeve of mine (I admit that I drive slower than a little old lady on her way to the Bingo hall, but I get great gas mileage in my Ford Focus).
But, one benefit of the high gas prices is that it might improve safety by getting people to slow down to conserve gas. (slower speeds = better fuel economy).
Or so I thought, because one thing I’ve noticed is that Americans don’t seem interested in easing off the accelerator to save gas in their vehicles.
I hear a lot of people squawking and b-tching about the high prices at the pump, but people still buy their gas-guzzling SUVs, they still drive a quarter-mile to buy a gallon of milk, and they still put the pedal to the floor even when there’s a red light 100 feet ahead.

Yes, electricity is energy. But it is a renewable source. We can get it from solar power. Oil, on the other hand, is a non-renewable source (we’re running out) and is polluting the environment which we share with other animals. They have just as much a right to be here as we do.
