You can bet your sweet ass that this'll make gas prices rise like crazy. $29 BILLION in new taxes or tax cut removals won't be coming out of the pockets of oil companies, they'll be coming out of your pocket. However, I want some accountability on the part of Congress to actually take that money and use it towards alternative fuels. I want all electric cars to become more prevalent on the roads. I want hydrogen cars to be on the horizon, not just prototypes.
I want solar/wind power options on new or existing homes. I'm currently looking at solar for my home as it makes more sense then wind at my location. If politicians are serious about getting off of foreign energy sources, then we need to make a real, 100% effort, not just some sound bite, feel good legislation that only accomplishes to take more money out of your pocket because oil companies pass on the taxes onto you.
So let's roll up our collective sleeves, give new ideas a shot, even if they are off the wall ones. Rethink how we get around, how we heat and cool our homes, how we commute to work. This is the greatest nation on earth and we've adapted when faced with monumental problems, this one is no different.
