Good post. The below is worth repeating: 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.
