I just saw on the news that by summer gas prices will go to upwards of $5 a gallon.  Right now gas prices around here (Georgia) are $3.50.  So if you live in places like New York or Chicago where gas is even more than this, expect that to go way up also.  How are we going to survive? This will make food prices skyrocket also.  Food has already gone way up.  Our grocery bill used to cost us $150 a few years ago, now costs us $250 for the same foods we always get!  How do you plan to get through the summer with prices like this assuming the info is correct?  I swear, we are going to have to make our own vegetable fuel, and have our own garden, that is until the gubmint deems that illegal. There is already a bill in congress that seeks to forbid people from having their own garden due to "safety reasons".  ugh! Thanks Obammy and our do nothing Congress for screwing us over yet again!

I think they WANT us to go back to biking or walking in order to decrease emissions in order to make the epa happy. Just take us back to the pre car age in the early 20th century.  Sounds great.  We are not getting more prosperous we are going backwards.

They say that every year. I don't think that happens to the majority of places.

totally agree. keystone would have been a great thing for us and actually help us. Obama voted that down also.
