High Gas Prices – Sick and Elderly Hardest Hit
July 9, 2008
July 9, 2008 - NewsBusters - CBS reported on Wednesday that high cost for gasoline is hurting everyone including charities.
On Wednesday’s CBS “Early Show,” co-host Russ Mitchell declared: “The high cost of gas is hurting everyone these days. Families, businesses, and even charities. Many organizations that deliver food to the sick and elderly are being hit extra hard.” In the report that followed, correspondent Kelly Wallace went even further: “In one rural California case, according to the president of Meals on Wheels nationwide, cutting back from daily deliveries to one every 14 days proved fatal.

Josh,
Thanks for checking in. It looks like you are involved in alternative energy. Your site is very interesting in alternatives for powering our homes. We have solar and are still using power from the PG&E grid. And we are told it will take about 5 years to recoup the cost of installing the equipment from our energy savings. However, thes will not solve our gasoline crisis. All cars use gasoline (or ethanol) unless they are completely electric. Unfortunately to power all the cars if we went to electric in one day would create havoc. California is on Flex-Alerts now and are threatening power outages this summer. Imagine if everyone had to plug in their car what would happen! – Editor
