the cost of gas is not the important thing right now; our planet is
Because if we do this, and we lower gas prices, it WILL help the environment. The energy companies like exxon and mobil are making crazy amounts of money from oil. Right now, big energy companies are making so much money off of oil, that they have absolutely no economic reason to pursue different renewable energy. BUT, if we lower prices, and if it DOES get down to 1.50 or so, they will make considerably less money, so they will have much more interest in developing new, more profitable ways to get energy.
