Yep and now they are going to shut down the Alaska pipeline for repairs!
If everyone in the US would pick 1 day a week and not fire anything that required gas how much would be saved?
But the problem is demand would go down but would prices?
One more thought.....pay the debt for the war we are fighting with tankers full of oil!

Maurice,
You're correct. The Alaskan pipeline will be shut down for
quite a while due to excessively thin-walled pipe sections.
How in Gods name did that happen? Who's minding the store?
The west coast is probably going to suffer the most. At
some point, they will take some of our gas supply from the
east coast and then all hell is going to break loose.
We have become so selfish as a society that I honestly doubt
we could, or would, cut back on gas consumption. Just look
at the rail systems in this country as compared to other
nations. Look even closer at the real lack of car pooling
in this country. Why? We are going to get a big one up-side
the head one of these days.
