Maybe you should take a look at refinery outputs and such instead... Cap n Trade as imposed by Obama will increase cost for refinery emission, and is only going to make this even worse.
Besides, every % gain in crude doesn't translate to a % gain in retail gasoline. You should be thankful of that. At $30 a barrel, we were about $0.80, now at $70 a barrel, we are only $1.1.
But hey, there's more than just supply and demand and extraction cost when using oil. We are depleting our future generation's energy stockpile, and also polluting the environment and leaving a mess for the future generations. These future costs have never been priced in. So I agree that we need to put taxes on these. The only thing is that how the tax revenue is used. But that doesn't mean that the tax shouldn't be collected.
Regarding the price discrepency between the US side and CAD side for retail gas. The discrepency have always been there. If we are to whine about it, we really shouldn't need to wait until there's large crude price/large retail price fluctuation. The discrepency didn't really change much despite of the big move, it's just always there..... For reason whether that's justified or not is a totally seperate issue from the fact that crude/gas is going up/down.
In terms of the (almost) ever rising crude oil/gas price, with ever increasing extraction cost, reducing supply, peak oil, etc, it's inevitable that price will go up. Maybe you should look at buying oil stock/oil futures/alternative energy equities, etc to hedge against ur daily fill-ups instead. |
