is higher oil prices. a few years ago when prices were higher than they are today, you heard t. boone pickens promoting wind energy on this show and elsewhere. auto shows began featuring smaller cars and and selling fuel efficiency instead of hummers. this time instead of focusing on alternative energy for some reason we seem to have a thirst for easy answers that make us feel better. donald trump s take when speaking to reporters in new hampshire this week. yesterday our president said he s very little impact over the price of gasoline. i think he is 100% wrong because opec is setting the price of fuel. we have we have oil. all over the place. all over the place. every ship at sea is loaded. they don t know where to dump it. yet, every day we are setting records and pretty soon we are going to be at that $150 a barrel, all-time record. when the president says he has no power over that, i mean, it
volatility that a country like libya throws into the mix at a time when we need it least. we would only be producing half of what we consume, we ll be as dependent on other foreign oil as we have always been. what s the way to get the different stake holders together to really find some longer term answer to this? and shouldn t we, even though the public doesn t want to hear it, end up with higher gas prices as a way to try and urge the market to create the investments and alternatives? i think we have got a card on what gas prices are abroad and even at the spike that we re seeing now, most americans don t realize we pay far less than most countries do for gasoline and that s part of the reason we re driving hummers and suvs and not focussed as much on the new technologies that market incentives could drive if we actually ended up paying more at the pump through these tax. two things have to be kept in mind, the median income in america is $38,000 a year.
