Now, if someone were to make the argument that our air would be cleaner if we didn't burn hydrocarbons, I would agree. But global warming????--total farce.
This topic is about the price of gas, not about climate change.

The price of gas is reduced when there's less of a demand/reliance on it. The oil companies charge more, because they CAN. Because so far, no one has said "nope - we'll just not use gas as much anymore, but thanks for playing."

When we increase renewables and alternatives to petroleum, we decrease the demand for petroleum. And the price of petroleum will go down. That's just basic economics.
