Good to see you highlighting it. And Ted didn't just stop there! "So the time has come for Congress to stop pretending that fuel-economy can be legislated and to put market forces to work. That means raising gasoline taxes -- offset by cuts in income taxes and by gas vouchers for needy people. These measures would succeed at raising fuel economy and in reducing automotive emissions where the CAFE law has failed." Little by little, you must be changing hearts and minds by posting here. I sure wish CA would slap a $1/gallon tax on gasoline right now, give a $100/person rebate to every state resident and use the remainder to balance the state budget. But Republicans in the state legislature don't want to raise a single tax to fix the deficit.
