if EVERYTHING has gone up, including foreign currency perhaps it makes more sense to consider the loss of value of the dollar..
NaaaH!

Those opposed: nay. We need to consume less. That's how to reduce prices. You wouldn't even notice the tax reduction.
|
A-Fùçkîng-MEN! -NAY!
Gas-tax-holiday = easy populist gimmick that SOUNDS like a good idea. In reality, it will generate more demand than there'd be without it, then it'll just hurt even more.
This is a diminishing resource.
The answer is NOT to reduce taxes on it. -That just helps the oil companies.
The answer is NOT to start drilling for more in protected wildlife habitiat. -That just helps the oil companies.
Guess what Bush wants to do?

Here's my idea :
USE UP ALL THE GAS. This way, we will be FORCED to use something else.
Most humans are so lazy, that unless you give NO alternative, they'll just keep on doing what they do, until they are actually falling from the cliff like lemmings, wondering just how they got there.
Cheers

Unfortunately by the time we do that we'll all be dead from respiratory diseases.
"We have also sound-houses, where we practise and demon- strate all sounds and their generation....
Divers instruments of music likewise to you unknown, some sweeter than any you have; with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. We represent small sounds as great and deep, likewise great sounds extenuate and sharp; we make divers tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their original are entire. We represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beasts and birds. We have certain helps which, set to the ear, do further the hearing greatly; we have also divers strange and artificial echoes, reflecting the voice many times, and, as it were, tossing it; and some that give back the voice louder than it came, some shriller and some deeper, some rendering the voice, differing in the letters or articulate sound from that they receive. We have all means to convey sounds in trunks and pipes, in strange lines and distances."--Francis Bacon, 1626

The day we get electric cars working the value of oil will drop to $10/barrel.

...and the electricity to make those cars go will come from... -where?

...then they have a LOT more to do than just get electric cars working.
Right now what percentage of our electrical power generation comes from the sources which you mentioned, and how much comes from fossil fuel?
...Plus there's the national power grid which would have to be upgraded to handle the additional charging demand. (remember the northeast blackout a couple of years ago? -remember how close to capacity much of this country's power distribution system is?)
I'm not saying that this is impossible, just that it's not just as simple as "getting electric cars working".
...If we did this tomorrow, all we'd end up doing is burn more coal and oil to power the cars.
