[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How else are we going to get flyover country to give up their smelly trucks?

They may think twice before rolling coal.

Cause for celebration- I would like to see $10/gas.  I walk and bike nearly everywhere.[/quote]

Have you ever been to the midwest, pp?  Have you ever visited rural America?  
Do you understand that it is not possible for everyone to bike and walk everywhere?
Do you understand that the farmers that grow your food and raise your crops need fuel for their farm equipment?

You are just clueless.  [/quote]

So we just give farmers gas subsidies, and make the vast majority of people, who are in urban areas, use mass transit or buy a Chevy Volt($33k)[/quote]

What a simplistic clueless response. 
Your "solution" does nothing for the millions of rural residents who need to drive 10+ miles to the grocery store or 30+ miles to a doctor's office or hospital.  
I believe some of you urban dwellers have never stepped outside a city.  [/quote]

Good thing the vast majority of electric cars on the market easily get 200+ miles on a single charge. That should really help the Real Americans get to their doctor or the nearest grocery store. And even rural families have electricity! [/quote]

Where exactly does that electricity come from to charge all the EV that everyone will eventually own?  
Windmills?  Solar farms?  [/quote]

Yes. Hydro, wind and solar. Things that don't require fossil fuel and any dependency on russia or the middle east. The right keeps chipring out energy independence. If you REALLY want it, it would be through renewables. With the battery technology, the time is now.[/quote]

We are energy independent now.  We produce more than we use and 51% of our imports are from Canada.  The only thing we're dependent on Russia/Middle East for is stable global prices.[/quote]
