Even as gas prices finally slip below $5 a gallon, many people are cutting back on driving just a bit.But not everyone can.
As Congress and now the Supreme Court stymie the Biden administration's efforts to curb climate change, one thing the president doesn't want - sky high gas prices - actually is nibbling away at emissions of heat-trapping gas.
People are also reading… "High fuel prices are a really difficult thing because they're a double-edged sword," said Samantha Gross, director of the energy security and climate initiative at the centrist Brookings Institution."So prices that are high and expected to stay that way have more of a longer term ability to cut demand and my guess is the administration wouldn't mind seeing that, but the problem is that people hate it.
In San Diego, where gasoline runs more than $6 per gallon, Simmi Paul said her family also has reduced driving. Her daughter, a college student, now walks 10 minutes to work and takes public transportation to school rather than driving. "Even at $5 per gallon, it's hard to find evidence of changing habits" and buying smaller gas-efficient cars, said Jeff Schuster, president of global forecasting for the LMC Automotive consulting firm.
