That's a pretty good start... except that I use planes
fairly frequently.

Well, Jon. I don't fly, so I think all airplanes should
be
grounded, world wide.. I don't ride on busses, therefore
all
busses should be parked, permanently. Neither do I use
the
train, ditto. I loathe powerboats, we should sink every
one. People who ride motorcycles should get free gas.
Those
using wood stoves should get major tax breaks. Trucks ,
and
motorcycles, should be the only vehicles allowed on
Interstate roads.
All elevators should be welded closed and people forced
to
use the stairs.
I have more, but that's a start.

Nothing to do with trucks, freight, etc. They need to
travel. The main
problem is that regular consumers need to be weaned off
of
large, gas
guzzling cars and Stupid Utility Vehicles. If gas
prices
rose to north of
$5/gal, the car companies would be forced to make cars
more efficient
because no one would buy the gas pigs.

The point is not to "collapse" the economy. The point
is
to force people
to change their driving and car purchase habits.
Jon,
How about 18 Wheelers, Air Freight & air mail,
Military
air patrols,
Harbor patrols, border patrols? How about tripling
Bridge
fares?
Parking fares? School busing? Let's get the Cops back
on
there feet?
Trolley? How about going to Oars for Auxiliary Power,
Outlaw Power
Boating.
Home Heating with wood or coal or even electric.
We have a lot of ways to change our society to do
without
oil. I'm
almost 80 years old and don't give a damn:^) It up to
you
youn'uns.
CHANGE!!!!
