#Oil and #gas will never get cheaper
Oil is still there but harder to extract | BrainerdDispatch.com | Brainerd, Minnesota
Here's the truth: As we use up a resource, if demand stays high, it's price will go higher and higher. Oil is a finite resource, one that will ONLY become more scarce as the whole world increases it's use of it. The only alternative is another fuel and energy source. Expect that the price of gas will constantly increase, and that one day you will pay more for your fuel you use to drive to work then you make at work that day.

#NaturalGas prices lowest in 10 years!
Natural gas prices hit 10-year low - Mar. 9, 2012
While Natural Gas is not the solution, it is a cleaner alternative than Oil. With prices the lowest they've been in 10 years, production the highest, it's a smart business move to use NG.

Prices for #solar will soon drop.. sadly.
Solar Panel Sales Seen Dropping First Time in Decade, Feeding Glut: Energy - Bloomberg
While it may sound like a good thing that the prices for solar panels will soon drop (soon as in the next year or so) it comes at the heals of a decline in worldwide solar panel consumption. In fact, production of solar panels world wide will be the highest this year it has ever been. So, this is good for the individual, cause it means more abundant, cheaper panels. But, it's bad for the planet, cause it means big time energy companies world wide are going to look for cheaper (read "coal") alternatives to the high cost of solar.
If only people could see past their next year's fiscal budget!
(Go buy Solar...)
