<div><br></div>Matthew, <br><br>I'm hardly an economist, but I think the way
it would actually work is that the cost of ELECTRICITY would go up, if
anything. Look at the seasonal (driving/flying vacation/holiday time) gas
price increases.<br><br>Costs (prices, actually) go UP when the producer's
ability to produce product exceeds demand. Since the oil companies are having
a harder and harder time finding dead dinosaurs to exploit, and since they
don't want to "invest" their windfall profits in building more refineries, we
have rising prices at the pump. The reason we're using so much is that we
WASTE a lot. A LOT. (I tried to detail a few simple examples in a previous
post on this thread.)<br><br>When/if a significant transition to
electrically-powered cars comes about, gee, what will big oil do? Those poor
investors (including some Supreme Court Justices) won't be able to share their
windfall profits. They'll have to start building, hmmm, oil-fired electricity
generating plants. <br><br>Paul Bruesch<br>Stillwater, MN<br>Driving my Kayak

. . . . the higher prices go, the more go to electric, causing the prices to
go up even more!
