They may think twice before rolling coal.

Cause for celebration- I would like to see $10/gas. I walk and bike nearly everywhere.

Except all.of the crap you buy at target needs to be shipped and transported. All of your food needs to be transported. It will make food prices skyrocket.

What an idiot living in a bubble you are. Hundreds of millions of people do not live in cities either.

I am literally shaking right now- is this the tone you use with your wife? You sound like a bully

It's also shows ignorance of how much transportation costs make up the price any individual consumer item. Hint: Not much.

Most of the crap people buy at Target isn't transported by Cletus driving an oversized coal rolling pickup truck. And we should be doing more rail freight than long haul trucking.

Taxes change. Gas was almost $5/gallon in some spots in Washington State when we took a trip there about 5 months ago. Oil was nowhere near $150/barrel then. $150/barrel would easily send it to $7/gallon in parts of the country.

I mean....okay? If that's the arguement that some places have higher taxes than others and that commodities on those taxed items will be more expensive then sure. If we're going to pick and choose specific locations instead of the national average then that's pretty silly. What's next, "One bedroom houses cost over 1 million dollars!" because that's what they are in the bay area? I really doubt we'll see $7/gallon in the DC area unless prices get north of 200.

Have you ever been to the midwest, pp? Have you ever visited rural America?
Do you understand that it is not possible for everyone to bike and walk everywhere?
Do you understand that the farmers that grow your food and raise your crops need fuel for their farm equipment?

You are just clueless.

Vertical gardens give us access to fresh produce in the areas where we live.

The Midwest can and should be re-wilded.

Bwahahaha. You grow 100% of your own food and so does everyone else around you in the city? What a lying sack of S you are.

I bet you'd be the first to complain too about rising rents, housing crises, and housing unaffordability too if all of the sudden millions of more people started flooding into cities to live and now needed housing.

Freight typically accounts for about 5 percent of costs of goods sold, or roughly 3 percent of sales on average for food manufacturing companies.

So if you buy a pound of hamburger for $4 and gas is $100/barrel then the price of a barrel goes to $150 then the cost of your pound of hamburger will go up 6 cents. I guess people are going to be starving. Time to make the minimum wage $20!

Just ignore them. This is what they do for fun and it’s pretty formulaic. Same type of response over and over and over.

You are just clueless.

So we just give farmers gas subsidies, and make the vast majority of people, who are in urban areas, use mass transit or buy a Chevy Volt($33k)

What a simplistic clueless response.
Your "solution" does nothing for the millions of rural residents who need to drive 10+ miles to the grocery store or 30+ miles to a doctor's office or hospital.
I believe some of you urban dwellers have never stepped outside a city.

I have. My parents moved to the middle of nowhere in NH to "escape the liberals." They have to drive 30 minutes to get to the grocery store. It was miserable and I have no idea how people live like that.

What pipeline are you referring to, and how does it related to auto fuel?

I love the cute Dem responses - you’re going to get wiped in the midterms and it’s well deserved.

because low information voters believe the keystone pipeline has jack to do with the cost of gas for cars

Low information people like those that think a pipeline that's open is closed?

Good thing the vast majority of electric cars on the market easily get 200+ miles on a single charge. That should really help the Real Americans get to their doctor or the nearest grocery store. And even rural families have electricity!

Good. Market forces will provide incentives to seek out less destructive forms of energy.

Where exactly does that electricity come from to charge all the EV that everyone will eventually own?
Windmills? Solar farms?
