Even with the recent rise in prices, energy prices are still way to low to actually influence choices most people make. Trains are still more expensive than car travel by car, flying is still cheaper than rail, I still don't know how much I pas to heat my house because it is negligible compared to what I spend on other things....
Energy is so important, yet so cheap. I still hear people flying in for a two hour business meeting, or commuting by car tens of kilometers. Only when that ceases to be economically viable we should call the price high. Until then, I'm happy it finally makes economical sense to reduce CO2 output.
