I became a transit bus mechanic because of peak oil. That's also why I bought a 60mph 80mpg scooter and a bicycle with an electric assist motor. With gas so cheap now, and since it's winter, I drive mostly but when gas goes back up or when the nice weather comes back, I'll be back on them again.
Kris, I think you should moderate a TV-Show, maybe an ambitious serial about ecology, resources and peak oil! You have a beautiful style, you can explain difficult questions in understandable phrases and you easily reach the hearts of the people with your open mind. You got great personal skills indeed. I hope the media business will discover you. I really love your presentation here on youtube. Keep up with your good work!
Thank you again, Kris. Some talked about a 25 cent tax on gas to help rebuild the Gulf Coast after Katrina. A shame that the obvious solutions are usually so mired in politics that they are ignored. God forbid a legislator should propose another "evil" tax. An aside: Just heard Bank of America got a $138 billion bailout. Where's that money come from?
More Mass transportation...inflation is out of control, the bosses make money in-between everything...good work..."you walk the talk"...hey, the beast of burden is that horses can't fart...free the gas and being is good

Spare me your doomerism! Everything will be fine, with the help of human ingenuity.

Americans use ~375 million gallons of gas a day, so that would generate $187.5M a day, or
$66.4375B a year. with a .50 a gallon tax.
That's the math. How fairly that tax would be distributed is another issue.
