so too do the costs of goods. And the cost of goods is falling. So there is a balance there - though all the work and loss (and of course loosing a good job and having to open your own small business and 1/2 the pay is a horror).

The point is that in 40 years when oil is $1000 a barrel what do you want the USA to be producing? Becuase any firm using oil in production will go under. And your kids - do you want them to study science or not? So they can have long careers instead of short ones.
