Government subsidy of consumption is pretty much a given.

You mean they will continue to pay my friends to NOT GROW CORN? And that the price mechanism on GAS won't be able to work like it is supposed too in a free market and bring on other technologies? Who benefits from stopping Mr. Fusion? I saw a couple movies about this - one was the Water Engine with William Macy

and the other was Chain Reacton with Keanu Reeves - Excellent!

Now Tesla and JP Morgan had arguements about wireless energy - but from what I have read Morgan didn't like that idea and many say Tesla was a crazy nut - A lot of our grid power is lost in transmission losses eh?

teslatech.info

Furthermore, the power loss experienced by Tesla’s pulsed, electrostatic discharge mode of propagation was less than 5% over 25,000 miles. Dr. Van Voorhies states, “...path losses are 0.25 dB/Mm at 10 Hz,” which often is difficult for engineers to believe, who are used to transverse waves, a resistive medium, and line-of-sight propagation modes that can dissipate 10 dB/km at 5 MHz.20

....After returning from his experiments at Colorado Springs in 1900, Nikola Tesla stated:
If we use fuel to get our power, we are living on our capital and exhausting it rapidly. This method is barbarous and wantonly wasteful and will have to be stopped in the interest of coming generations. 24
In view of our present fossil-fuel-caused global warming, Tesla seems very prophetic from his vantage point of a century ago.

Just as the government pays people to mortgage their homes and have children, the government will pay people to use more gas than they need to.

Mish China has 1.4 billion - India 1 billion - we have 300 million and we can only open the border to so many immigrants eh? At the end of the day it comes down to a numbers game and we have to increase our population no? Where I live is about 3000 per square mile - many places in the USA haven't reached that density yet - we have to fill it up eh?

POTUS last week asked Congress to give him sole authority to simularly "reform" passenger car fuel economy standards

Damn the free market - I wanted an electric car - but not enough parts break down in an electric car and the gubbment has to keep full employment right? How many jobs would be lost if we all had a car that never needed fixin and new parts except for maybe tires? I know a lot of mechanics that like those good ole FUEL engines with fuel pumps and such - they don't like the idea of hundreds of millions of electric cars that only need battery cells changed - any idiot could do that - then how could they charge 100 per hour labor?

The US government as presently constituted will not price control gas, it will not ration gas and the government will not nationalize the oil industry. Just the opposite. At the direction of the oil companies, the government will increase gas consumption by forcing more fuel efficent vehicles off the road and paying people to consume.

Jim Rogers said the same thing this weekend - he doesn't understand why you and him aren't picking up guns and stopping this?!? Schwarzanegger says everyone needs to get a hummer for when the civil war between the blacks and latinos start!!
