> Raising taxes in a recession is a no-no. But I’ve wracked my brain trying to think of ways to retool America around clean-power technologies without a price signal — i.e., a tax — and there are no effective ones. << Throw money domestically. Throw money at things that will directly help people and the consequences of which go right back in to the domestic economy. Paying bills. Buying Food. Paying rent. Bootstrapping locally. Helping locally. Getting healthy. Making your neighbor better, faster, and stronger. You don't create a ponzi scheme and create money like the federal reserve. That is so Bernackish.

Why not a heavy tax on vehicles with engines over a certain size? I believe in Japan that is how they do it, if memory serves me correctly things get expensive is a hurry with engines over 2 litres... Best regards, John
