Default Re: Oil prices just took their biggest nose dive in two years

Is this really a good thing? See, if all the hybrid driver causes a decrease in fuel demand which in turn causes a decrease in oil prices, which in turn causes more SUV sales, which in turn causes more C02 and warm weather, which in turn causes concern and more fuel efficient cars to be used, AND causes less demand in oil for heating, which in turn.....

Do I see a spiraling scenario here? It's great for our pockets, but not good for the planet.

I see market forces dooming the planet, if given free reign. The market will not curb CO2 and oil usage until it becomes scarce or runs out...by that time, it may be too late.

I see drastic climatic incidence have to occur before we have the will to go against market forces.
