Here is a link to a Fox News Poll that shows 50% of people voting think we are heading into an energy crisis with gas lines. HA!
Fox Poll
The poll is to the right, half way down the page.

Gas lines? Only in Hawaii due to their insane price caps.

As long as they don't cap the prices here, gas will still be on sale...just for too much for most people to afford.

Only 50% think this?

[Eli]

I think gas lines are possible. If wide spread panic sets in.

My Sister heard a rumor that gas was going to go to 3.00 a gallon at our local convince store chain. And she heard it from her friend who's brother works at said store. No really it is true.

This rumor really happened, my point is people are set to freak right now. Hurricanes and terrorist and if we see a major price jump to 80 dollars a barrel the gas stations will be emptied before they can raise their prices.

People will rush out to fill there tanks as if they will never have to fill them again.

Are there EPA-approved underground gasoline storage tanks for backyards? If not, I'm sure somebody will invent them, if only for hoarding 1,000 gallons of gas at a time.

[Yavicleus]

What worries me more is what the politicians will do to "solve the problem" of high gas prices. I doubt any of their solutions will include drastic CAFE standards or a 55 mph speed limit or massive funding for alternative fuels and power supplies...

Instead, they'll probably do something counterproductive...like fuel price caps.

Or invade Venezueala...

John Titor said to get a bicycle, bicycle repair kit, and extra tires. And to build up your endurance.

I am shopping for bicycles and a scooter.

Disel can be stored in rural areas and they are quite common in the US.

[MD]

Of the 53% expecting an energy crisis with "gas lines", I suspect the vast majority think it is all about price gouging.

I_Like_Plants, for FOX NEWS, that's nothing short of a miracle!

[Novus]

Now FOX has another Poll going about oil. It is a prediction for the bulls and bears show. While is more likely stocks going up or gas lines. Gas lines is up bby 53%.

New Fox Poll

interesting.....oil is running out

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193624,00.html

Then says that the world is concerned about Iran and nuclear...
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193576,00.html

seems clear that US cannot do anything about it because of its need for oil....surely someday, someone in the White House will work out that there may be a link between oil demand in US and the price...maybe the US needs to use a bit less...

From the UK, Fox News always looks a bit wacky, here's a good one - blame the environmentalists!!

Its a mad mad world

[jdumars]

wow... if FOX NEWS is reporting on this, I take it as a bad omen. My personal opinion -- we're at/past peak.

Is there such a thing as "peak doomerosity"?

[mekrob]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')y doomerosity level just peaked.

If Fox is running this type of article, I guess we should sit-up and take notice.
