Oil Price Opinion

Before Yien starts commenting "bimboblicly" bout the oil price issue, i wish to state my view towards this hot material.

I know the price has rocket up RMo.78 which is quite unbearably to some. It was almost half the price last year this time.

"..in January 2007 = US$50 (RM164.50) a barrel.
June 2008 = US$130 (RM427.70) a barrel
and is predicted to rise uo to US$200 (RM658) a barrel"

We can't stop the fact that oil will continue to rise. So whats the point of boycotting Petronas oil station, causing chaos or sending complains etc. I even got some invitation on Facebook to some group of "Unsatisfactory towards oil price increase". Wth??


The government has subsidized our oil for quite some time and this luxury of course has its limitation. What i believe now is instead of crying over spilled milk, why not try on new adaptive ways to overcome this problem. (Living in college, everyone's talking bout adaptation adaptation adaptation.) In fact we humans are one of the most adaptive creatures, i believe with determination on the right pathway, we can pull through it.

I have this paper box that most people would just throw away without thinking twice, but i saved it and decorate it with drawings and "grafitti". On the top left side i wrote this

"Thrifty Promotes Creativity"

During World War II, people in Malaya had close to nothing on their needs and wants, but a way or another, the situation extends their creativity and somehow, they got through it. (by the way, we should realize the need to conserve and not waste sources as everything is increasing in price and wastage will promote higher expenditure. Anyhow, i really can't stand wastage and unenvironmental attitude!!! It sucks to the max! talk bout it some other day)

From the new subject i'm taking, Economics (cool subject), i learn that it is our unlimited wants usually which exceeds the limited resources that causes scarcity, competition and so on. I don't really got a hang of the subject yet but i do realise that wants can be controlled so things can be easier, money can be spend more wisely and life's would be happier :)

Coal was like oil during the Industrialization Period in Europe. Price back then was increasing close to unbearable too, much similar to the situation we're in now with oil. Decades past back then and human discovered Oil as an alternative. Now tonnes of coal are left unused.

Conclusion is ( why does it sound so formal :P) , let's focus on solving and adapting instead of complaining of unchangeable facts while at the same time, Keep our prayers on for new discovery :) I bet the person that develop some new technology against oil would be like some super hero that the world awaits on. haha, taking craB again.

Overall Its just my opinion so don't come spamming like what happened on other discussion boards XD
