Gas prices are on the decline. Over the course of the past 2 weeks gas prices have gone down 8.5 cents showing that the price of a gallon has dropped to nearly $3, but still remains a quarter more expensive than it was last year. Forecasters are expecting the price of gas to continue dropping through election day. So will this news help or hurt President Obama come November 6th? On today’s show, Jeff Rubin, Author of The Big Flatline: Oil and the No-Growth Economy joins the conversation to discuss how the decline in gas prices may not be all good news. Jeff Rubin argues that our massive oil consumption, which is about 1.5 of the world’s oil, could put a stunt on our future economic growth.
