Comments on: If fuel prices go up, won’t carbon emissions go down? If fuel prices go down, won’t carbon emissions go up? http://www.greenenergypost.com/if-fuel-prices-go-up-wont-carbon-emissions-go-down-if-fuel-prices-go-down-wont-carbon-emissions-go-up/ Green Energy Post is all about energy that is considered to be environmentally friendly and non-polluting, such as wind, solar power, and hybrid car systems. These sources of energy may provide a remedy to the systemic effects of global warming and certain forms of pollution. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:20:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: L.

A gallon of gas still costs 8 dollars US in europe. funny though diesel can be a lot cheaper there if you are a commercial carrier. I know, US politicians say F*** the Europeans, they dont know anything :) besides the continent wide rail net, the subways in all the cities. People more likely to use a bicycle to get to work versus a V-10 hummer.. Did not answer the question, did I? They will reduce the cost of gas? Its a bit late for that now methinks. Soon as peace is declared in the middle east, and OPEC says we give up! you might see a reduction in gas prices. Right now everyone is making money hand over fist in the oil industry and can not even imagine a future where they might stop. Actively oppose any efforts to stop them. **** Cheney's energy summit. Edit Republicans always plan for the next 4 years. Democrats too. Eventually someone has to break the cycle. Our government leaders are more worried about elections than our continued health, economically, physically and in the world abroad. They dont care as long as they get the numbers... then they do as they wish. consider George Walker Bush. Wish someone would start thinking about the future of our country versus what lies they need to say to get a popular vote.

There are buses and cabs in Europe and India that run on compressed air. There are cars that can get 100 MPG right now. We just haven't had them made available to us yet. Solar panels are being used in Germany on every home. We are just way behind other countries such as Brazil who uses sugar cane to fuel their vehicles. We knew this was coming 30 years ago but did nothing about it because oil got cheaper again. I don't think that's going to happen this time. Green energy for vehicles has been around for many years.

At least people might get some excercise. I have noticed that more people are walking the shorter distances in the last few weeks. At least people might get some excercise.

If prices are high emissions will go down because people will not drive. So far the price continues to climb and people continue to drive and get in my way. Traffic has not let up yet, so I don't think it can be proven. In theory, yes. If prices are high emissions will go down because people will not drive.
