Cheap oil - be worried?

Isn't it great I filled my car up at the weekend for 99.7p per liter.

Haven't seen it so low since 2009!

But whilst I like it, globally its not good you know.

Why? because the mega-oil companies will be in trouble and we'll not convert to energy-saving CO2 saving technologies. Only good thing is it isn't worth the Oil companies exploring more for oil/gas.

Live now pay later - you say - yes but what bout your Grandchildren?

Do we want the planet to "burn"?

Why buy an electric car at twice the price of a conventional one, why not get a gas guzzler - you can afford it.

Believe me we'll regret it soon, and the prices will rise. So be sensible, have some fun but don't count on it.

Where is our Middle East Peace envoy?

I asked this yesterday. Seems Blair is partying while Gaza burns.

Osborne to scrap fuel duty rise?

Here we go again - Fuel Duty to rise? - lets face it we all know the oil is running out. We're killing the planet burning it but like any addict we can't stop.

Is the Government wrong  We say "it won't make any difference, I'll keep my car going and my bit won't matter." Well I suppose it does.

Now another thing - suppose we all switch to electric cars, what will the Government do then? All that duty lost. We're not buying any petrol or diesel.

WRONG - they'll make it up. Road tax on electric cars is going to rise, then they'll charge us by the mile to use the roads. Its a WIN WIN for the Government.

Just Grit your teeth and pay, or don't travel, live near your work. It used to be like that, I'm just old enough to remember.
