As much as I would like to see the pipelines built in this country, I can understand why people oppose them biased on their lack of trust of the oil industry. Running the price of gas up 10% over night is not a good way to gain that trust.
The difference is, food and water are biologic necessities of life. If you don't have them you will die. I don't think your body runs on oil. Besides with your 80km you could always move closer to work, no one forces you to live that far from your employment. I assume you live that far away for the lifestyle so you are making a conscious choice that results on your dependency on oil. You gotta pay to play bubba, no different than anything else...
