Full of Hot Air

Seems likely.

Wake up Americans, in Europe people are already paying more than $9 in some places and very few show any reluctance to buy gas. Americans use 25% of the world's gas but the population is less that 5%. It is costing trillions for the war in Iraq just think if that money was invested in replacements for fossil fuel we wouldn't care how much oil was:-) and we wouldn't be wasting lives.

The addiction to oil is unbreakable. Locally, it's currently $8.06 per US gallon. That means ~$1 per mile in a SUV like a Hummer if you drive carefully.

I vote for a $20+ per gallon. The tax raised can be spent on renewable technologies and subsidised public transport. It would discourage me from driving. but I don't drive much because of carbon footprint concerns.

YES, I really mean I'd vote for $20+ per gallon. In fact $50+ per gallon might do the trick.

Biofuels, at least the ones we have at the moment are not the answer, 23 gallons of biofuels consume enough grain to feed one person for one year. People starving so others can drive? Even ignoring deforestation concerns, biofuels are currently immoral!
