Atlas of Gas Prices
Once again one of my favorite online info. resources Tree Hugger gave me some perspective. When our "elite enclave" (see Suza's post) experiences the same sting as other parts of the world maybe our habits will change and there will be a conscious effort to downsize our vehicles, carpool, provide EV public transportation. Support the Ojai Valley Green Coalition.
From Tree Hugger:
We have to thank Wired for this graphic Atlas of Gas Prices around the world. Hmmm. Any wonder Americans are still driving gas-guzzlers? Gas prices in China are close to American prices, which doesn't seem to pose a problem for the drivers of 11.5 million cars in spite of income disparities. Sitting on a puddle of oil seems to keep prices low--look at the mid-east or Venezuela-- which makes Norway's commitment to taxing gas consumers into efficiency seem especially admirable.

Raymond! thanks for that graphic!!
now if only we had equivalent global graphics depicting the one percent of the whale/dolphin population remaining alive, the 3% remaining world rainforests, the few percent remaining fresh water, healthy air (if any ...)
the global energy consumption/pollution, global waste production, global automotive manufacturing holocaust, global road/asphalt monster, and global temperature escalation!
