We've had three gas taxes on the federal level already in the last ten years. If I had to choose whether the oil used in that time or the tax money was the more squandered, I'd have to say the tax money.

150 years proven reserves does not say that's all that's left. Probably several hundred years. But again, that's no excuse to throw it away. Given the breakthroughs in technology over the last hundred years, I would have a hard time believing we'd still be stuck entirely on oil even 50 years from now though. --Alan

Re: "As for higher gasoline taxes, I would not be opposed if there was some assurance the money would be spent for something intelligent ..."

I assure you that the money would not be spent for something intelligent.

Best wishes,
