One Benefit of Increasing Gas Prices
No, I’m not for higher gas prices but I just read this article that says that traffic deaths have been reduced as a result of higher gas prices. It does make sense don’t you think?
Higher gas prices, less cars on the road. Less cars on the road, less traffic related accidents. Less traffic related accidents, less traffic related deaths.
Another thing that I think that would be a direct effect of the increasing gas prices is less pollution, especially in the cities. The less cars on the road, the less smoke. Less smoke, less smog… well you know the drill. The latter though can be easily solved by switching to alternative energy to power cars. One such possibility is electric power. And another possibility is Hydrogen power.
Well oh well… I think that this rising gas prices will eventually force us to move on to the next level and be pro-active in thinking for solutions. As for traffic-related accidents, as long as there are reckless drivers and day-dreaming pedestrians, we’ll be having them for quite some time.
