Growing oil prices in GB

When the oil prices in some tank stations almost hit 1 GBP per litre, it started strange things to happen. The growing oil prices started to have effect on stability of the country. Last week a group of people started to block oil refineries, which cause lack of oil in some parts of the country. Drivers started to accumulate gasoline, which caused long queues near tank stations. Some protests turned into fights between police and the protestors. If that continues in the same speed and manner, soon the situation can cause serious consequences. It reminds me oil-blockade in Lithuania in early 20thies, when Russian cut all oil supplies to threaten Lithuanian people, which at the end of the day didn't work out. But it was different time and different people.

I really cherish a hope that oil prices would grow even further. Oil corporations couldn't any longer suppress states in making an important step towards renewable energy sources. Governments could invest more money into development of innovative technologies for better usage of renewable energy, come up with better laws to support bio-diesel manufactoring, which is more eco-friendly, sustainable and gives farmers new way of income.
