Reaction
I am very interested reading this article, because in these few month our gas price was getting higher and higher, from about 1.5 dollar per gallon of gas in the summer of 2009 to 3.12 dollar per gallon of gas now ( in Los Angles, the gas is going to 4.1 dollar per gallon. Face to these terrible problem, nobody must ask why the price is so high, and why the government didn’t control it, because transportation is very important for every American people, and the main energy for the transportation is gas. Also this article explains the reason of the gas price is getting higher.
 My major is Mechanical Engineering, after I read this article; I have a question why our transportation’s main energy cannot change from gas to another energy, from example, solar energy or eclectic energy. Base on our today’s life, almost every transportation are using gas for their main energy, including cars, ships, and airplanes. And gas price is affected by many reasons, if we can change gas energy to other energy, a lot of problems would easy to solve in our life.
