Comments for Gas 2 http://gas2.org What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Washington state is working on a $100 annual EV car fee, to make up for loss of revenue from gas taxes to maintain roads. There are claims that the current grid would be fine even if 20-25% of car in the US went electric, many home owners with EVs also make the move to have solar installed in their homes, which ends up fueling the car at no extra cost saving them money and even adding more value to their homes. If somehow grid price became unbearable for a Volt owner they would still do better than many cars just running on gas. they will most likely tax you when you register your car or we will move to a per mile charge.

We own those assets, why should we let oil companies take them and sell them back to us at such huge profits. And they should have the additional revenue earmarked directly for improving our roads and bridges and they should NOT be allowed to use them for any social programs. If there is any money left over, it should be used to fund alternatives to oil. I will agree with Ziv on one thing though, they need to do it slowly so they don't cause shock to the economy.

They are all saying the same thing, they are afraid that they will have to lay them off due to increased regulations and an anti-business agenda in the White House. To a man and woman they are saying that Obama consistently says one thing about business and then does another. He tries to pick winners in the green industry when doing so is nearly impossible at this stage of the game. He has talked a good game on offshore drilling but not followed through, he is talking about increasing the oil drilling tariff by 50% and he fails to allow keystone despite the consensus that it is safe and good for American, and then tries to blame his predecessor for the high cost of gas. There is the perception that he will need to tax the living daylights out of us, and that his energy policy will mean that, 'necessarily electricity prices will sky rocket'. Obama is bad for business, and business is what allows America to gain the wealth that allows demagogues like Obama to tax the rich until they are gone, and then he will raise everyone elses taxes too. Obama is a rather poor joke of a president. But within a few years, the joke will be on you and me. Remember Obama's recovery summer? It was supposed to be in 2010, but his maladroit handling of our country has prolonged this economic purgatory. Obamas Justice department shook down Boeing when they built a new plant outside of Washington State, in a patently pro-union stab at the company. They had to shame-facedly drop the action, but business knows they could be next. Obama told Occupy Wall Street chumps, "you are the reason I ran for office". D'Souza nailed Obama's problem in his book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage". The article below is a pretty good summary of another persons take on Obama. http://blog.american.com/2011/10/5-reasons-why-obama-really-is-freaking-out-business/ Have you really not read about CEO’s and entrepreneurs are making money but refusing to hire more workers?

Can my state or company opt out of it like some companies can Why delay the Keystone project if you want to reduce our dependance on mid east oil.
