According to that article,
gassoline and biomass are SDM can’t renewable. I think we should find
alternative renewable energy source, such as biomass and other renewable
sources to counter the anticipated gas prices increases. However it is not easy
for steel producers to switch to alternative source of energy because of cost
factors.
There are alternative such as
changing the gas to be alcohol with logam convertion, and that alternative
others are fuel sources that are more cost effective which some players are
looking at, but it is not easy for steel manufacturers to switch in the
immediate or medium term. Because it would require substantial investments in
equipment and machinery and will take time.
On the other side, few people enjoy
paying more to drive and because fuel costs affect many other items, including
food, rising gasoline prices are often associated with an increase in the cost
of living. And the humans didn’t worried again about the affect prices of gas because we done to trying anticipated
gas prices.
The Effect
of Gas Prices on the Economy
The USA consumes 400 million gallons of gasoline every day.
This with the burgeoning demand from developing nations such as China for gas,
has pushed gas prices to record highs, and having an all-pervasive and
on-balance a damaging effect on the US economy.
Gas prices in the USA/Canada often vary significantly between
gas stations and supermarket gas pumps. In many areas, gas prices can vary by
20-30 cents per gallon or maybe at times even more within a small area. This
makes that most motorists in the USA/Canada are shopping around to find the
best deals on gas, but are still paying a lot more for it.
High gas prices make people stop and think about their
commute. This will affect the US economy by reducing value of properties in
outer commuting zones around the cities, and depress rural property values.
Analysts were predicting a gallon of regular to climb as high
as $4.50 a gallon in California by Easter 2011. But these same analysts are
saying that if you think gasoline is expensive now, just wait until next year!
A combination of growing global-demand and rising U.S. fuel exports could send
gasoline prices to further record highs in 2012, analysts say.
The
effects of such big cost hikes will reduce available spending money for all
those on average wages and below who need to travel significant distances in
their cars, and this will further depress the US economy when this cash gets
diverted away from a myriad of local spending decisions affecting local businesses
from restaurants to children’s shoe shops.
Cars
now are more fuel-efficient than they were in the 90s, so car owners can reduce
your spending on gas by choosing fuel efficient vehicles. This is making US car
manufacturers and car importers develop and extend their low fuel vehicle
ranges. But, US car manufacturers have been slower than others, such as the
Japanese marques, to develop some of the most innovatory fuel efficient
vehicles such as the hybrid engine vehicles. This will tend to raise car imports
to the detriment of the US economy until the US manufacturers catch-up.
It
is not all bad news though. Companies that own oilfield reserves will be seeing
the value of their resources growing, and businesses that are connected with
the renewable energy market are growing rapidly right across the range of
renewable energy sources from wind, to thermal energy, and of course that most
popular of renewable sources which is solar. Renewable energy companies are
growing fast and employing increased numbers of staff.
