An average Californian consumes less than one-tenth the gasoline that the typical American consumes. If the whiny East Coasters would learn to consume less energy, the market for oil would collapse. Even though I would find my oil stocks' value greatly diminished, I would love to see this since it would give the future a chance to unfold.
As it stands, clearly energy is way too cheap in this country, since almost no one (outside of CA) is consuming at a reasonable level. Remember, every gallon of gas/oil is your way of supporting King George's Saudi masters and bringing about the rapture-crowd's end-of-times. Quit yer bitchin' and start walking, riding bikes, and learning how to manage in a 50 degree house you wimps. Our forefathers and mothers would be ashamed at how soft twenty-first century Americans are.
