[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3526866, member: 24500"] The equivalent cost for a gallon of gasoline in the early days of the internal combustion engine was just over $5 per gallon. Natural gas was once for the wealthy elite. Half a gallon of whale oil prior to natural gas was $1.92. An equivalent to almost $60 today. Coal was once only for the wealthy elite. The entire history of heat, light, and power generation in our country was once too expensive and subsidized by the government to push technology to make it affordable, reliable, and attainable by all. It's understandable how politics may keep some from realizing it, we're merely seeing history repeat itself for the benefit of all. [/QUOTE]
