The phenomenon of rising fuel prices has led to public demonstrations against the government. How not, this event causes inflation that burdens society. Public transportation fares up to the price of basic necessities soared. The economic activity is disrupted. Fishermen cannot go to sea, industrial operating costs increase, rice and coconut are expensive, mobility is disrupted, and so on. The middle to the lower economic community is suffocating from this situation.
But on the other hand, this
phenomenon can spur to minimize dependence on fuel oil. It is time for
alternative energy to be researched and implemented mass. It's time for people
to be environmentally literate, that our earth is very, very old. In addition,
the increase in fuel prices is expected to reduce the intensity of motorized
use. Reducing this frequency can reduce air pollution, congestion, accident
rates, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Each issue reaps positive and
negative reactions. No policy is perfect. All have loopholes to refute and
agree on. There are always people who are affected by the results of the
decisions.
