Just think of how much better off we would be now if we had addressed the long-run fossil fuel problems when we first experienced them in the 70's. Now, we have wasted about 30 years and the problem is worse. This time, let's forget about the painless solutions such as gas tax holidays and pretending additional domestic drilling will make a real difference. Let's keep the base price of gas up so we make correct decisions about what we drive, where we live, what jobs have futures, and what we can afford.
