in theory
the strategy is right on the money.....only the end result of decreasing the demand to influence opec's price per barrel doesnt work.... by switching brands.... but , if we utilize our strength in numbers by car-pooling and as Salty suggests....chipping in and sharing fuel expences....then we are being more economical on fuel consumption and thus decreasing demand which affects (increases) supply which affects (lowers) the Price per barrel.
i thought it was today that the decision to drill or not to drill in Alaska was being made by politicians....
and yet i saw nothing else mentioned about it on the news.... for We have a rediculous amount of OIL in Alaska to be harvested and refined....much more than all of middle eastern oil suppliers combined...so hopefully that will be passed. But eventually OIL , as a fuel , is going to END completely , so i'd much rather see change in technologies for transportation take place in the Auto industry with more hybrids.... Also we can easily produce FUEL oil via plants..............
or its equivalent and or have hydrogen fueled vehicles which is the cleanest alternative there is and best for the environment.
