You must have this thread confused with another one. I was talking about the US situation. I only mentioned Europe because it provided evidence that increased gas prices do spark innovation.
The oil industry (say it with me now:
corporatocracy) is responsible for the higher gas prices in the US. That's a result of unchecked free market power.
