while I think a responsible government would institute draconian mileage standards (in the electric car category...we need to ween ourselves off of ICE engines for individual travel altogether)... that ain't gonna happen.
So, we ought to just forget CAFE standards and tax the hell out of all fossil fuels. I mean, make it so gasoline is 12 bucks a gallon or more. And use the money to invest in alternative energy solutions for transportation.
We'd use ICE engines where nothing else would do...
all this would merely delay the bad day when we have to face the consequences of Cantarell and Ghawar and other supergiant fields in permanent, possibly rapid, decline.
But delay is not a bad thing.
Listening to congress-critters pat themselves on the back for the current bill is just a bad joke.
