The law of supply and demand...we continue every year to increase our energy demands using a resource that is rapidly becoming unaffordable. Pretty soon, the middle class will be doing what the poor already do. Some already are. Soon there will be even more people riding on 2 wheels because the consumption of fuel by a 4 wheeler is increasingly being deemed financially impractical.
