Myspace boycotts gasoline

Some guy in my economics class said that on myspace, there was a day planned to boycott gas. I thought that was the most stupid idea that is a waste of time and is not going to accomplish anything. My economics teacher said that even if there was a successful boycott, it will only be for a day and it's not going to affect the oil industry in the long run. Your gonna have to give in sooner or later if you rely on a car to get around. I think this boycott is absolutely stupid and a day is not going to do anything to bring gas prices down. We need the gasoline more than the oil industries need our money. This contributes nothing to the community, it just gives a day off to the gas station. This is the most meaningless way to protest against big business. A better solution to this would to drive gas efficient cars. Toyota and Honda have some pretty good gas saving cars. Or maybe putting in money to develope an alternative fuel that can be used economically one day, such as hydrogen power. Any other solutions guys? [Edited on 5/3/2006]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Scythe252 Hey, I got a solution. Besides hydrogen fuel cells. That will take a while. You know what this solution is called? [i]ETHANOL{/i]. Don't say we can't do it. Brazil did it.... [/quote] Ethanol will take awhile, too. It'd be very bad for most cars out there today if they ran on ethanol completely because most people do not have the new E85 cars so most engines aren't built for that.
