Money is the language of the masses and the only way to get people's attention. As much as I hate it, I say raise prices because that will force alternative methods of transportation, different energy sources and greater awareness of the real problem. We waited way too long to fix our energy problems with a smooth-ish transition to alternative fuels. A soft landing is not possible now, but the sooner we start the easier it will be. The only way to force action is to raise prices. I totally agree! Money is the language of the masses and the only way to get people’s attention.

Until we get the move over with I am all for the break on the gas tax. :) However, I do think Americans have no business whining about high gas prices when it's ten bazillion times higher in other countries. And yes, we definitely have had plenty of time to come up with another option. We're just lazy. Dude, I am moving 1300 miles this summer and driving 1 Uhaul and 1 tiny car.
