And that will be the bench mark. I believe oil companies will increase the
price to the point where it really does start to efect their bottom line,
then they will plato off so to speak. I believe this is why we see different
prices for different countries. It's what the majority of people can afford,
in the end it's people in the low income bracket that will start to suffer...
they'll find themselves in positions where they cant afford a car. Wait until
you have to buy carbon credit in your rego it'll be another added cost to
running your car. Then when to high price green car comes onto the market
in real time most low income folks wont be able to afford them and will
be left paying through the nose on fosil fuels. The us and them, rich and
poor divide will move further apart. Public transport is a good thing but it
also has it's draw back... for one it's probably the biggest spreader of
influenza in Sydney.
