Huckabee's energy policy =Tax on fuel?
He says: "The key is to create the kind of unbridled marketplace that turns innovators loose to find the solutions."
A huge tax on energy, particularly gasoline would create lots of incentives for innovation. The Europeans have been paying high prices for fuel for a long time. In England, 80% of the price of a liter (yep, they count it in liters) is tax.
Because right now, I don't see a bridled marketplace that inhibits innovators (or chains on the innovators in need of loosening).
And when I look at nature disappearing in the US, most of it is going for housing and support (ie the stores that the supply the families in the houses). American is growing and 80% of that growth is due to immigration. So, if you want to preserve open space and the environment, you need to restrict immigration.
