CONSERVATIVES FOR GAS TAXES


First Sullivan, and now Krauthammer respond to the Gas price "crisis" with a blast of common sense.


So where is John Kerry, who no doubt understands that gas prices remain radically underpriced in this country and that raising them further is essential to any realistic efforts at improving energy efficientcy and combatting climate change - pandering like there is no tommorrow by offering half-baked plans to lower gas prices. I'm still waiting for a U.S. politician to speak the truth on this issue. Maybe Al Gore, after he's done shilling for the latest enviro-disaster flic can get working on a more realistic version of the "Day After Tommorrow" in which the legacy of a decades of pandering on gas prices leads America to collapse into a major depression when the world's oil supply dries up and the backup energy sources haven't been developed.
