What can you do to help the rising costs?

Many will tell you to cut back, change the way you live. This is not progressive thinking. While we should conserve energy and we should do things to help conserve fuel in order to keep the high cost of fuel from eating up our incomes, living as though we are going into the 19th century rather than 21st century is not the answer. While horses are cute and riding them is great fun for most, getting to work on a horse will not cut it. Nor, will riding a bicycle for most get you to work on time, if you live too far from work or weather conditions don't cooperate. Walking might be fine if you live close to work but not for most. Mass transportation is fine if you live in areas that provide it. By all means if you can do it, then go right ahead but for the general population that live too far removed from mass transit the automobile or truck is the only method to get to work or where ever you need to go to get living done.

So, the answer is to live progressively. That is, to live normally and get there using energy sources that have tapped into technology designed for the 21st century. We must be future thinkers and future doers.

Now, how do we get around now?

Well, learn ways to get your car or truck to use gasoline more efficiently. Decide to start to thinking about converting or changing fuel sources for one car or truck. Look, read and research on what new technology might be good for you. Many new cars are coming on the lots that offer a hybrid or other energy source to get it on the highway. Many solutions are experimental and if you are the type to be adventurous then you will find a lot of alternatives here.

Your local oil company is having a hard time. Prices are very high for them to get delivery. And they have to pay up front for the oil. Today, many of the small companies are having a hard time meeting their obligations because they have extended credit to their longtime customers.

Instead of cursing the your local oil company you should be praising them. It's like the grocery store in the 30's that saw families starving and gave credit where they knew food was needed and money was short. Most times the grocer never got paid or paid little back. Today, the local oil dealer is doing much the same thing; families are cold without heat for families and the oil dealer gives them heat with credit. Hopefully, they will be paid, lest they will lose their businesses.
