Love Is A Strong Word
And in this case, plain unrealistic: MSN Money: Why you should love $5 gas.
The author either is a utopian dreamer; an Obama 2012 staffer; or just a freelancer who had to write something, but wasn’t really up to it (or maybe all three). One of her reasons to love $5 gas is “End of Wars”. Another is that with expensive gas “we’ll starve those oil-rich despots out of existence”.
Who writes this stuff?
One quasi-sensible thought the author did include in her list is :”if gas prices rise enough, the government will open up areas now closed to oil production, and oil companies will be able to invest in more-expensive methods of extracting oil.”
That’s awfully optimistic. Don’t count on it. Not with Obama in the White House.
