We need to have a higher tax or higher price on gas above a certain base amount. So, people who buy SUVs and other such vehicles that use more of our resources--should pay extra for that use vs. those who choose vehicles which are more responsible.

No one has talked about how the Republicans are all bought out by big oil companies! So, how can we drill responsibly when the oil companies have bought out the government. Do we really want a mess in our backyard -- when instead we can move toward the future and invest in Science to finally get us out of this mess.... Oil is a natural resource and will eventually be over -- do we want to deplete this resources within our lifetime or our childrens? Not wise....
