I read a post that a Realtor wrote on wanting to charge a gas surcharge to her buyer's as she was with 3 in one day and used her full tank of gasoline. Good try but a surcharge to a buyer would be doomed from the get-go!
OK, first of all I'm really so very tired of hearing all the gripes and groans from so many about the gas prices. I hear BLAMING of everything and everyone from oil companies, ExxonMobil, OPEC, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Venezuela, Bush/Cheney derangement syndrome, speculators, we don't drill for our own, ethanol and so forth.
Well, that is simply to simple. Many of those parts are truebut the way to fix it isn't to continue down the same road that's gotten us into this mess in the first place. I'm generally all for opening up ANWAR, drilling for oil and natural gas in the Gulf of Mexico and refining our own supplies as well as pursuing a major push for more nuclear energy.
But the simple fact of the matter is we spend our tax dollars all wrong and continue to do so year after year. The solution to bringing down our fuel costs for our vehicles is a hydrogen fuel celled vehicle of mass production for all.
The way to go about that is to transform the tax code by not throwing away billions and billions year over year for tax credits, deductions and other benefits for oil companies, ethanol, solar, wind, bio-fuels, everything! Wasting year after year with not one model set up for design to provide actual results!
Instead of giving all the tax subsidies we need to create an environment of PRIZES! We need to offer something like a $25Billion dollar tax free prize to the first person, group or company that can mass manufacture a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle which get's at least 60 miles to the gallon, can be purchased by most for about $22k and is safe and reliable.
We can carry that process over to many other wasted government bureaucracy dollars to programs like NASA.
Many of you folks are much more astute than I so you've probably heard of this type of idea from the man of great ideas Newt Gingrich.
I like him and many of his ideas. Now he would be a figure to consider for anything in the GOP. RNC chair, VP, close policy adviser?
He has a really wonderful site that I find to be bipartisan with lot's of brilliant ideas floating around from the general public like you and I. We can make a difference and to give him a quick plug you might like to check out the wonderful site www.americansolutions.com
I would love to hear from many of my esteemed colleagues in the Silent Majority and others.
