Mr. Chu has called for gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to coax consumers into buying more-efficient cars and living in neighborhoods closer to work.
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Mr. Chu, who directs the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September.
Oh, Really?
Not to derail this thread into P&R - mods, please, accept my apology upfront - current administration gives me creeps.
I started commuting to keep middle age spread at bay - that was my CHOICE. I started commuting to flip my finger (metaphorically) at people flying occupied aircraft into occupied buildings - that was my CHOICE. Now government is trying to force my hand further and does it so crudely (lack of refinement also annoys me here)!
There is a difference between choices we have and choices we have to make.
