Much of this is undoubtedly the case. Argument has been made that these same companies have deliberately attempted to coopt and control any effort or experiment aimed at the development of alternative energy sources.</div> <bR> <div> As gas prices rise, we must ask ourselves the sources of our current world dilemmas that seem unending and inescapable, and yet wonder whether this in itself is simply yet another illusion, or mass delusion, foisted upon us by those who profit by the maintainance, indefinitely, of the global energy status-quo.</div> <bR> <div> Rising gas prices at the pumps and oil-barrel prices at the docks drives our economy, albeit in unfortunate ways--everything else gets expensive as the costs are passed along ultimately to the happy consumer, and the net result is a general "less with more" process that is the consequence of spiralling inflation that seems essentially beyond anyone's control.</div> <bR> <div> When Petroleum companies are able to set their own prices, and control access to alternative energy resources, and promote systems that depend upon their own energy supplies, it becomes impossible to produce cheap energy and to provide energy that, through increasing abundance and availability, becomes less expensive instead of more costly.</div> <bR> <div> An economy founded upon the proposition of falling energy prices due to increasing supply is one that is set up for rapid economic growth and development. It is also a system in which cheap energy that is readily available to all people empowers a broader range of people toward greater productivity and economic achievement at less overall cost.</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>  <p align="center"> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> s="na";c="na";j="na";f=""+escape(document.referrer) </script> <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript"> s=screen.width;v=navigator.appName if (v != "Netscape") {c=screen.colorDepth} else {c=screen.pixelDepth} j=navigator.javaEnabled() </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function pr(n) {document.write(n,"\n");} NS2Ch=0 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape" && navigator.appVersion.charAt(0) == "2") {NS2Ch=1} if (NS2Ch == 0) { r="&size="+s+"&colors="+c+"&referer="+f+"&java="+j+"" pr("<A HREF=\"http://www.TheCounter.com\" TARGET=\"_top\"><IMG"+ " BORDER=0 SRC=\"http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383"+r+"\"><\/A>")} </script> <NOSCRIPT> <a HREF="http://www.TheCounter.com" TARGET="_top"><img SRC="http://c1.thecounter.com/id=515383" ALT="TC" BORDER="0" width="88" height="31"></a> </NOSCRIPT>   </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
