Dear Vision2020 readers:

If we lower our demand for oil, would not the price fall?

Drive less. Walk. Ride a bike. Take the bus. Plan excursions to town to 
reduce the number of trips taken. Do not drive for pleasure. Use a 
motor vehicle for business, and necessity.  Get rid of the gas guzzler 
at the nearest opportunity. Replace it with an economy vehicle.  Find 
other outlets for pleasure. It is up to us to change our habits. No one 
is going to solve the problem for us. Common sense consumption should 
prolong our oil supply. Demand for economically reasonable and fuel 
efficient means of transportation will drive R and D to provide 
alternatives which will solve many of our pollution, economic and 
infrastructure problems looming in the near future.  It might just be 
that the world would be a nicer place with smaller, less polluting 
vehicles which are driven less. Be conservative!
