The estimated UNknown oil fields should last well beyond their lifetime. This is the second time someone (I know who) has suggested increasing gas prices for the sake of conserving gas. I'm not sure what the logic is behind making the oil companies richer and the poor poorer. It would seem that alternative fuels and more efficient vehicles would be the route to take instead - but maybe I'm missing something?
If you increase the price of gas by putting on a tax, then you make the oil companies poorer and the poor people richer. You also create a greater incentive to make more fuel-efficient vehicles, and use alternative fuels. It's only in America that TPTB haven't worked this out and explained it to the people. Or possible the conspiracy theory that America is run by the oil companies is the reason. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
