The car I drive gets 40mpg. To me, the people that can afford a vehicle that cost more than my house are not going to be affected by raising the price of gas. Only I will.

If we ration, I drive 60 miles a day to work. My neighbor drives 5. Who gets to micromanage the gas stamps?

How would you write the rules to differentiate between a mom with four kids driving a Hummer and a construction boss driving a Hummer? I don't think we want to start down that road.

For now, I think hydrogen and electricity generated by new nuclear plants we need to start building now is the best solution. Only 20% of our electricity is produced by nuclear plants while France is 80%.

I'd mention coal but it seems to have a more negative public image right now than glowing in the dark....
