Immediate $10 gas? OK, you better duck. g OTOH, it's coming if Congress does nada.

I completely agree. I am disgusted with our leadership and disgusted with our populace who have countenanced such incompetence. We are falling behind the rest of the world as we try to maintain an unmaintainable status quo with the use of military force and neo-con hegemony instead of ingenuity and entrepreneurship. A gas tax would be a great way to encourage innovation conservation and energy independence. Maybe it has to be true grassroots and the revolution has to be accomplished on an individual by individual basis. I am planning to install a Finnish designed masonry fireplace for incredibly efficient wood heat in my home, a Danish designed windmill and Japanese designed photovoltaic shingles on the roof for electricity, and am going to convert a Japanese designed Mazda Miata (light, well built, aerodynamic) to a plug in electric car using a German designed electric motor. Doesn't it just piss you off that that this kind of innovation is being done everywhere else but in America? Just writing this makes me sick to my stomach and even more angry at Bush and our current leaders for encouraging and subsidizing all the wrong things (consumerism, debt, military adventurism) and none of the things that will pay off in the long term.
