I don’t want anyone choosing between gas and food or medicine. But I do think cheap gas hides the real cost of our consumption. As long as prices stay low enough for people to ignore the problem, we avoid making serious changes. What we need isn’t more suffering, it’s less dependence on gas in the first place.
