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!!!!

Why?? So those too stupid to avoid having kids they cannot afford can
continue
to breed like cockroaches?

Do you ride a bicycle everywhere? Do you own a car?

Why are liberals so selfish?

My youngest son lives south of Atlanta...I ahve never seen traffic like
that, even in Los Angeles....took us 45 minutes to get across a street to
go to Wally World for groceries..

I don't care what China buys, but actually the Arabs would care, since we
would be setting the precedent for non-polluting transport and China would
likely follow our lead. We can even sell them the technology. The point is
that we won't be dependent upon Arab states. Lack of air/water/ground
pollution would be a second benefit. Even China and India don't want
pollution.

What we don't buy, China will. The Arabs couldn't care less if we all buy
solar-powered electric cars.

You're talking about a country with some of the filthiest rivers in

That's right. And, even the people in the gov't there are concerned about it
or will be concerned about it. No one wants to live in a polluted
environment.

You just use other peoples' names, and more pathetically,

A sound idea, but the trouble is the poor won't be able to afford the tax.
Guess who'll be picking up the tab?

Hint: same folks who are doing it now.
