Gas is Winning People Back

This article from The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/jan/01/green-revolution-slows has an interesting outlook to the green movement in 2009. As hurt as we all were by the high gas prices of last Summer, people are quickly jumping off the renewable energy band wagon for the current low gas prices. It is no wonder big oil have been sucessfull for so long. People are willing to abadon new ideas for the quick and easy solution We paid upwards of $4 a gallon during the summer. Out of that frustration, momentum towards alternative energy grew. People changed their habits so as not to hurt their pocket books. Those habits and ideas are quickly forgotten when there is an easier and cheaper alternative. As nice as it is to have these lower gas prices I hope it does not last.
