Nah. But the increase in fuel prices has convinced me that Big Oil and
refiners need to be under citizen oversight, and that individuals who
use tremendous amounts of petrol resources for their own pleasure should
pay an additional penalty on top of the high prices for their fun, and
the moneys collected via the penalty be used to subsidize essential
petrol use by the poor.


We are paying what we should have been paying years ago.

That might be so if any of the funds were going to relieve our reliance on
petrol, but they are not. We're just getting ripped off.

Who spends the most money on research and/or development of alternate energy
sources?
