That is a good post. REpublicans have made a gas or gas guzzler tax impossible for 30 years. Dems have always wanted to do both. Denmark and much of Europe has been doing that for years. I think when the gulf folks see just how bad this is going to be it will blow everyone's mind. And if they cannot stop it for 3 months, or longer, it will be a catastrophe beyond imagination. Similiar to what one would see in a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan. Maybe this is what it will take to wake people up. >>And yet, there is a much simpler answer than hanging a hydrocarbon Sword of Damocles over our nation's critical coastal areas. Just copy Europe and impose a 100% tax on gas and oil, to make people turn away from 15 or 20 or 25-mile-per-gallon vehicles and start driving fuel-efficient cars, car-pooling or forgoing cars altogether. Even better, tax the crap out of cars that don't get at least 35 or even 40 mpg.<<
