Asian Governments Forced To Act As Oil Prices Soar

Asian governments forced to act as oil prices soar

Postby Steven » 25 May 2008, 07:37

Torn between protecting the poor and saving their budgets, governments across Asia are being forced to slash fuel subsidies as world oil prices smash through 130 dollars a barrel.

No, I can't believe that! Is that possible? 3 dollars? What is the reason? It seems that Turkey is closer to petroleum countries and logically the fuel must be cheaper

hmm, that makes 11.35 a gallon. It's very expensive to travel by car.

turkey consumes the most expensive oil in the world. This is because the government imposes big taxes on in. Last year the total amount of VAT on oil, paid by a Turkish oil company, made up 26 billion euros.

Is it because Turkey cares about the environment, or it's just that the Government believes it's the most efficient way to fill up the state budget?

Actually Turkey is among the most ecological, I think. You could cross and travel to a lot of villages and cities in Turkey, and you'll see that 80% of them are equipped with solar batteries. :)

It's also a really sarcastic thing, where the Turkey itself a oil producer and manufacturer country, still need to have the side effect and suffer with the high oil prices misery...

still, Hakan, why is the oil in Turkey so cheap.
One more thing, are you sure 80% of villages in Turkey are equipped with solar system technologies?

Just come and make a visit to Turkey. And I'd recommned you to take a trip on the shores, you'll see.

These devices look quite simple and not expensive. I guess they can be made by common people.

Governments should subsidize people to buy such devices. Yes, the expenses will be more than enough, but, instead, the future of environment will be safe.

I think governments should giveaway free solar panels, and include the costs in their budgets. This would be a really important move.
