“Coulda, Woulda Shoulda” – Op/Ed – November 14, 2007
Mr. Friedman, as usual, is right again. Why can’t we get him to run for President? There is absolutely no reason for $90-$100 oil, except our ever-increasing demand for the stuff! We need to place an immediate $3.00 to $5.00 per gallon tax on every gallon of gasoline sold in America, and then watch with great delight how demand for oil shrinks, Detroit builds many more fuel efficient cars, and the country develops solar, wind and other alternative sources of energy.
A front page story in the Times says that in Iowa and New Hampshire less than 10% of Democratic voters, and astonishingly, only 1 % of Republican voters, consider the environment a key issue in the upcoming presidential election. What will we tell our children and grandchildren when they ask us why we destroyed the planet, “Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda?”
