[quote=spdrun]Which is why the Feds should pimp-slap fossil fuels for motor use with a punitive tax. Start it at one cent per gallon. Double every two years 🙂
That would be the best of all worlds. Incentive for consumers to move away from oil without oil production fouling North American soil.
Other ideal scenario would be a dead US frack industry combined with political unrest in the Middle East a few years from now. Oil hitting $200+/bbl would be good shock treatment for the US.[/quote]Yep, lets end fracking. Maybe that will drive up Nat Gas to crazy level and drive many people away from the north east into the south west since they can no long afford to heat their home during the brutal winters. Yay for SD’s housing price :-). Maybe it’ll also kill the exurb since people can’t afford a $10/gallon fuel price and are force to live closer to work center. Lets do that after I buy a few more properties near south west work centers :-).
