We are not taxing gas nearly enough. Its not even enough to maintain our roads and bridges let along build mass transit. Why should it be burdened with building mass transit? That should carry its own weight. The goal is get away from an oil economy, not just increase domestic production. Then why don't you guys do what you claim you want. Stop driving, flying, using anything made from petroleum? There was central planning in the USSR. Everything was planned centrally. It didn't work. Nonsense. You never heard of the Gosplan? Five year plans? en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org They planned the entire economy centrally. It didn't work. IOW exactly what liberals want us to do for our energy. There is some central planning in China and its a highly successful capitalist economy. It isn't at all like the old days. Ugh! Its exactly like the old days. You didn't see the pictures of everyone wearing black pajamas, reading the little red book, didn't know about the SOE's, the collective farms? Red China used to be just like North Korea still is.
