I think your plan would work, if it was ever implemented and if we survived the riots and the economic crash. Ten dollar a gallon gas would devastate most businesses that depended on customers living beyond walking and/or bicycling distance. When those businesses crashed, and unemployment spiked, the riots would begin. Of course, in a few years, we might reach $10 a gas, but like the frog that sits in cold water that is slowly warmed until the frog cooks, we wouldn't be affected as sharply. Additionally, you probably couldn't find one politician (not even a Democrat!) who would vote for a $5 per gallon gas tax. (well, maybe some Democrats).

I do think we need more Nuclear fuel (it's dangerous...so are cars...more people have died from cars than from nuclear accidents so far). I agree on the need for electic/hydrogen stations.

Basically good ideas, but I don't think there's any chance of getting a tax that high on fuel. Maybe in increments if the Democrats get in, but they'd have many other things to spend it on. Democrats don't, generally, give a lot of money to the fuel industry.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
