Inevitable Petrol Price Hike : Time for some citizen activism
May 27th, 2008 by admin !The crude has reached an all time high price of 135$ per barrel. However there has been no change in the price of the petroleum products in India. Oil marketing companies are incurring losses for every litre of petrol and diesel that they sell. This has led to private companies like reliance closing petrol pumps. The state run oil companies are only weeks away from bankruptcy.
The only reason prices have not gone up till now is that this is an election year. The congress party has to finally bite the bullet. The left is opposing the move.
I think that we bloggers have a responsibility to increase the awareness about the importance of energy conservation. We need to convine more and more people to conserve petrol wherever possible.
Here are some initial thoughts
Walk for short distances.
Use public transport.
Stop the engine at the red lights
Spoil less food (saves cooking oil)
