If expensive fuel were such a panacea, then Europe, which has endured punishing fuel taxes for generations now, would be crawling with alternative-fueled vehicles, but they’re not. Instead they simply have a higher percentage of diesel powered vehicles and Europeans are poorer than they otherwise would be.
And if there aren’t appreciable oil reserves in the US to exploit, then why do we need laws prohibiting oil companies from drilling for these non-existent supplies? Is oil exploration so cheap or the oil companies so stupid that they will spend a dollar for a nickel’s worth of oil?
