Economists tip petrol price fall to $1
Economists are predicting the price of petrol could fall to $1 a litre within months.
"In fact by Christmas we could see the national average petrol price in the order of $1.15 a litre.
"And it's not out of all credibility for the petrol price perhaps to fall as low as a dollar a litre."
I'm not complaining, not really. I mean, it will be nice to not have to think as much about the amount of KMs I rack up every week in the car, but ultimately, at some point, we are going to run out of fossil fuels. It's an inevitability. The sooner we do, the sooner governments and corporations will start investing in alternative energy sources/technologies in autonomous transport for the average man. So why wait?
Until then we are merely prolonging the use of a non-renewable, environmentally bereft energy source.
Here endeth the Rant.

Ah...We are but a race of beings that doesn't take action until it is too late. We prove it time and time again. Can Richard Branson change this on his own? I doubt it. At least he is trying though. The technology is out there. It may need perfecting but it won't get any better while we are happy to suck the planet dry of all its resources. Not enough people will invest while the oil companies have the political power. Though, Alternative fuels comes with another upside. The ending of war for Oil. Now, wouldn't that be lovely. :)
