A discussion on the cost of gasoline:
“This price reflects only the cost of discovering the oil, pumping it to the surface, refining it into gasoline, and delivering the gas to service stations. It overlooks the costs of climate change as well as the costs of tax subsidies to the oil industry, the bludgeoning military costs of protecting access to oil in the politically unstable Middle East, and the health care costs for treating respiratory illnesses from breathing polluted air.” (p. 7)

Sounds about right to me....

You're awake at 5:14 AM! There is something terribly wrong. Smithers loves Plan B 3.0. It was one of my books for the nutrition world hunger class that I dropped. I think I'll eventually get around to reading it.
yeah i don't know what was up with the time stamp. i posted it at like 8:14 AM before class, maybe they think I live in the pacific time zone.
