It is finally starting to feel like spring around my parts. Warm weather means a lot of things; the beach, going topless in my Wrangler, and cringing every time I pull up to a gas pump. Gas has been fluctuating in recent weeks, but here in Connecticut it is only a few cents away from $3 a gallon. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it hit $3.50 in some places. Sounds expensive, but it wasn’t too long ago some of us were paying almost $4 a gallon or more. Remember that?
Now researchers at the Harvard Belfer Center for Science and International Studies report that, in order to meet the Obama Administration’s goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, gasoline would have to cost $7 a gallon. I’d have to sell my Jeep and buy a scooter at those prices. And I hate scooters.
