You don't travel by plane? You grow your own food? Your consumption doesn't include many petroleum products?

It's hard to believe you have isolated yourself enough from the price of fossil fuels to not worry about how it will affect your lifestyle and standard of living.

The price of oil matters to nearly everyone, whether they want to admit it or not.
