Whose Ready for $3.00 a Gallon Gas

Question: How many of you NEC guys who are saying "bring it on" (regarding $4 or $5 a gallon gasoline) because you have the NEC at your doorstep, how many of you also heat with heating oil? As we all know, the Northeast U.S. is the biggest consumer of heating oil, taking one fourth of the nation's refined oil products (from memory, fact check if you must). I think the best action that the President and Congress could take at this point would be to put a "needless use of a scarce resource" tax on heating oil users, both to force such patrons to switch to "alternative" sources of heat, and to collect funds for expanding oil exploration in the U.S. <br /> <br />Easier to force heating oil users to find alternatives than to force drivers to find alternatives.
