Have Higher Fuel Prices Finally Introduced The Green Factor?

While governments around the world have been fleecing the population in the name of green issues for many years, it seems that the rise in the price of oil has succeed in converting many where the government ' sledge hammer to crack a nut' approach has failed.



Over the last 20 years there can be few countries in the world that have experienced the introduction of as many taxes in the name of the environment as the UK. If it moves or uses energy it seems as though the government want to tax it even more. However, while consumers have always fought against being pushed down the 'green route' it seems that many are now starting to cut the amount of fuel they use.



More and more drivers are walking where possible to save money, car sharing with work colleagues to cut back on their everyday costs and being more economical with the energy they use in their homes. While the governments around the world will no doubt step in at some stage to 'claim the glory' or a new 'green revolution' the fact is that the rise in the price of oil has 'broken the back' of many consumers.
