Makes me sleep better knowing the big Oil companies are pulling $6Billion profits per quarter. As to what we are doing? Not a whole lot. We'll eat in a few more times a month rather than going out or not buy something we want rather than need but for the most part we are stuck paying the inflated prices and will cut what we have to when we have to. We are taking this stimulous package and paying off a couple of bills finally so we'll have more money per month rather than blow it all on a few luxury items.
What gets me is all the technology in renewable energy out there but for some reason nobody has stepped up to make it affordable for your average homeowner. I've looked into solar and wind energy but who has that kind of money laying around to install it? Governments need to step up to the plate and offer incentives or find a way to make the equpment and installation more affordable. Once the equipment is in there it pays for itself over the years.
