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.

Pretty obvious. However, currently just words.
Why cut off the current petroleum based products BEFORE the renewals and alternatives are available?
How can the public be encouraged to change when the "green" ways are not available in adequate supply.....and cost?
Just basics of supply and demand!!!!
