>>>Most importantly, we're past the point where increasing fuel efficiency is going to do diddly shit.<<< Any substantiation to this point or is this another of gloomy "I believes"? If it's based on the generic end-of-the-world peak oilers, it is still an "I believe". IMO none of them made a strong argument on what would happen if we did go the way of France and Japan. My opinion is exactly the opposite. I pretty much agree that we need high gas taxes. This would make people drive less or more efficient cars. Alternatively (which is done to some extent), put a high tax on the gas guzzlers. If (and it's a big "IF") the taxes were spent for nuclear plant building + fusion research, this would be pretty good. Optimistic Jurgis
