Fuel: A Closer Look at Rising Costs
Summary
In the realm of business and finance, the ethics surrounding major oil companies and government officials are under scrutiny. This article explores the high costs of fuel and related issues, urging citizens to take action.Rising Fuel Costs
On May 19, 2007, I paid $3.39 per gallon for gas in Rio Rancho, NM. Astonishingly, a local news interview featured someone claiming that rising gas prices were not a concern. How many interviews did it take to find someone willing to accept the burden without question? It’s unlikely that individuals earning minimum wage would share this sentiment. If complacency takes hold, big business will exploit us, akin to the UK, where gas is $5.64 per gallon. If we remain silent, we risk paying exorbitantly more soon.
It's crucial to voice your concerns. Write to your congress members, engage online, and share your local gas prices worldwide. Why does Venezuela pay only $0.14 per gallon? They act proactively to keep fuel costs low. They have the refineries and plans for more by 2012. In the U.S., politicians and big businesses wield too much power, stalling refinery construction under the guise of environmental concerns.
The Electric Car Debate
Technological advances mean we no longer rely solely on fossil fuels. In 1996, electric cars appeared on Californian roads?"quiet, fast, and emission-free. A decade later, these vehicles were largely destroyed. Why? Oil companies recognized the threat to their profits from vehicles needing no gasoline and little maintenance.

Taking Control
Remember, we the people hold power in this country. We elect officials and hold them accountable. We've allowed the government undue influence over our lives?"whether through regulations on smoking or intrusive air travel security measures. The government often uses fear as a tool, allowing them unchecked control.
More troubling is how welfare dependency can keep certain officials in power, enabling their self-serving agendas. It's time to push back against governmental overreach and scrutinize how businesses exploit the system.
Final Thoughts
America, it’s crucial to speak up. We’re not powerless to stop the exploitation by big business and government. Let’s act now for a fairer, more equitable future.
