Speaking of oil, as much as I love to see the revolutions all over the middle east, I'm not excited to see the effect skyrocketing oil prices are going to have on the world's already rickety economies.

Maybe it is time to look for a bike.  I'm lucky as I can walk to work, but an electric bicycle, is about as green as you can get.  They are not cheap but can help out on hills or first thing in the morning.

I don't know about Florida, but Las Vegas in the evening was nice weather for a ride to the supermarket.

shmokes:
I'm not particularly concerned about the direct effect gas prices will have on my wallet at the pump.  I'm concerned about the effect they will have on the overall economy.  People who rely solely on public transit still have to deal with higher unemployment, higher food prices, higher airfare prices, higher shipping costs, higher product (of every kind) costs, higher utility bills, etc.

There is no aspect of the economy that isn't directly affected by a sharp spike in oil prices.

Donkbaca:
yeah, but its not all negative.  I live in an oil producing region and high oil prices means the economy will do better here.  More oil field workers, and oilfield support which is a mix of skilled and unskilled labor.  More money in the local economy to spend.

Its just temporary though, it will all blow over by September.

shmokes:
I don't care about your economy!  I need a job.   ;)
