should we rely more on alternative fuels?
apart from pollution. here in the philippines and in the uk, it feels like govs and oil companies have us over a barrel...pun intended; would the uk gov for instance be able to slap 80% fuel tax on electricity as it does with oil?
here in the philippines, when it goes down they cut half a peso off the price at a time, if it goes up they add 1 and a half at a time. fuel here is at same prices as the period when oil was at it's highest during the meltdown. which is odd considering that the price of oil today is well below that figure.
any thought on the matter?
