[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]
You do know that in CA we already pay almost 70 cents per gallon in taxes and AB32 is slated to push that tax up another 15 or so cents beginning next year. Of course AB 32 is so weird that we don’t even know exactly how much of a tax increase it will be. I don’t see Californians giving up their gas powered cars yet, unless you can afford a 80K Tesla.
