> In a sign of one major internal difference, Mr. Chu has called for gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to coax consumers into buying more-efficient cars and living in neighborhoods closer to work. > > “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe,” Mr. Chu, who directs the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September. > > But Mr. Obama has dismissed the idea of boosting the federal gasoline tax, a move energy experts say could be the single most effective step to promote alternative energies and temper demand. Mr. Obama said Sunday that a heightened gas tax would be a “mistake” because it would put “additional burdens on American families right now.” Sorry to burst your bubble, but the comment (in whatever context it may have been made in) isn’t going to find fruition. ---

I hate hearing things like this, I don’t think 8 a gallon will ever happen because of a tax, some kind of war probably. I hope not anyway…low gas is whats keeping this limping economy going. ---

Yeah. Now’s not the time or place. But when we get out, it wouldn’t be bad if the cost of gas went up so that John Q. Public doesn’t think “Golley! Gas is so cheap, why would we ever need to change!” when they hear people talking about spending money to set up a hydrogen/electric car infrastructure or high-speed mass transit lines. ---

That causes more change than high gas prices, people wont dump a car over night, but cars wear out overtime and more fuel effiecient choices are going to be on the horizon. ---

For real some of you people on here are SO FUCKING STUPID I just can’t handle it. So when a liberal reads a Fox News article they don’t like they can just say “omgz Fox Newz aint teh realssss” and just discredit it like that? Ok so lets say conservatives look at articles from CNN and do the SAME THING. You can’t just discredit everything that opposes your views since it is convenient. Almost all news sources sway one way or another GET OVER IT but you cant just say anything that isn’t your view is bogus. FUCK ---
