Quote:Not a short term one, its only scheduled out for a month in advance.. + I was tired and went to bed. its every Monday every week all year. Also its only a thought, Im always open to better ideas. Its just most people schedule a one day anger boycott that most of us dont hear about till its to late, so I figured good idea wrong method - in peoples busy lifes there needs to be a schedule for most things, so I thought why not this. If 40 million people complied they would certainly get a message.
By short-term I meant one day a week. If 40 million people did it no one would care - the net amount of gas sold would be the same. It might not even be noticeable, since most gas stations that I know of don't get daily gas deliveries - more like once a week or so.
The only way to make a difference is to reduce consumption. To a certain extent that's a short term fix anyway; the supply of easily claimed fossil fuel is finite. In the fullness of time, supply will become constrained, prices will rise, and other sources will become competitive (coal gasification, tar sands, shale). And then we can strip mine our own land rather than poking holes in other folk's land.:)
