Oddly with the rise of fuel prices, people are demanding alternatives. When demand rises, Prices will rise. Let us say everyone thinks that gas powered vehicles are too expensive to maintain than electric cars, demand will skyrocket for electric cars, demand too for electricity will increase. With all these demand prices will skyrocket. this already happened with wind turbines, with only 2 or 3 companies making these massive wind turbines they cannot keep up with demand thus, the increase in price naturally even if the companies want to produce them as cheaply as possible. Governments around the world should start working together else chaos will ensue in the markets of fuels. Imagine investing in a wind turbine today, only to find a year afterwards that the price when you got it was inflated due to demand, and thus the value of your turbine will drop. Like what is happening in the US land/home markets. finally, i think the solution is open-source, people should start sharing information on technology. If the companies of wind turbines cannot produce enough, let others produce it. Let saving the world be more important than profit We will be forced to innovate, it is very probable that gas may hit 70pesos per liter.

Also, are these gas companies actually overpricing their gas? If they were, than this idea would be feasible, but in my opinion, these companies are in as much of a pinch as we are. The big 3 may be the biggest gas companies in this country, but even they are under the mercy of global oil prices. Its a global crisis this is. As of the moment I do not see any real solution to this. I do not believe mere energy efficiency is going to decrease global oil demand. There are way too many people who are used to energy-wasting lifestyles and those who aspire to have one. You want to lower the price of oil? Stop using it. I actually hope oil keeps rising because it will come to a point where alternatives that were once thought to be too expensive like electric cars or solar cells, are gonna start to look pretty cheap. The sooner we get rid of our oil dependence, the better.
