Index of Subjects The recent concern about fuel prices seem entirely misdirected. Environmentalists should welcome higher prices for oil. I know it is an unpopular stand, but if one were to (say) quadruple the cost of gasoline, then people would be purchasing smaller, lighter cars and driving them shorter distrances. People might even try to buy a house close to their place of employment, instead of driving an hour down HWY 103 to go home at night. We have little diffuculty with sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco. We should persuade out elected officials to add a couple of dollars ENVIRO TAX per litre to gas. (BTW, do not try to get elected with ths idea as a plank in your platform.)
