Honestly, I think your choice (a) is the best choice. I love the price of oil being high, because it hastens the day when it will be an economic no-brainer for folks to use alternative energy to power everything from their vehicles to their homes. In fact, I'm much of the same mind as Friedman. If the price of gas ever dips below $4-5, then let's tax it back up to those levels and use the revenues to give credits to those who buy alternative energy vehicles or corporations who build those vehicles. Or I also like John Fowler's idea of adding a very large tax to cars that get poor gas mileage and using those revenues to give credits to those who buy cars with good gas mileage, making it all budget neutral. Bottom line is we need to get off the oil. I'm for just about anything that helps us do that VERY quickly.
