Our governor just declared a state of emergency for the state of New Mexico. The cause is a supply shortage of natural gas. They also asked us to turn off all non-essential appliances, and to turn our thermostats down by 10 degrees. Apparently there is an electricity shortage too.
They are shutting down all the public schools, universities, and most state buildings tomorrow in an effort to conserve gas.
I turned down my central gas heater to 60, but I’ve got an electric space heater that I’m using to keep my bedroom warm (a toasty 64F). Yeah, I’ve also got my laptop on…
What if the world hits a supply disruption like this? Many things could trigger a shortage in gasoline or natural gas. How would people react?
Hopefully this resolves itself by the end of the weekend.

Don’t you think our Government could help in relieving us of such high gas prices by not charging the usual Tax Percentage? For example…They could charge 3% instead of 8%..!! So if your gas price is currently $3 a gallon they make 23 cents off each gallon sold. But if they reduced the tax to 3% They’d make only 8 cents and our gallon price would be $2.85….Who is with me??
OR considering………When gas first started going up it went to like $1.28 per gallon. They were making 12 cents per gallon at a 8% tax rate. So if they decided to accept the 12 cents per gallon then our gallon price would only be $2.89 per gallon saving us 11cents per gallon.
But nooooo they are taking advantage of the situation too because they are collecting more tax. Talk about price gouging!!!
It is more advantageous to them to let the gasoline situation rise. Who agrees????????

Back in the 1970s the state of california enforced a 55mph law on most of it’s freeways to help conserve gasoline. The California highway system was originally designed to allow motorists to travel at speeds of up to 85 miles per hour. But at that time, 85 mph was way too fast, and wasted too much gas. In the 1990s California raised the speed limit to 65 miles per hour because the price of gas was really cheap. Now that we are going through another gasoline crisis, do you think that the state of california is going to bring back the old 55mph speed limit law on most of it’s highways?
