How’s that Hopeychange working out for you morons?
It’s certainly the change you idiots voted for, and now we’re all gonna get it — good and hard:
To meet the Obama administration’s targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions, some researchers say, Americans may have to experience a sobering reality: gas at $7 a gallon.
To reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the transportation sector 14 percent from 2005 levels by 2020, the cost of driving must simply increase, according to a forthcoming report by researchers at Harvard’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
The 14 percent target was set in the Environmental Protection Agency’sbudget for fiscal 2010.
Tell me the fairy tale again about how Obamachrist’s intention isn’t to destroy what little is left of the capitalist, free-market economy with his scorched-earth socialism, and replace it with a top-down, command-and-control one. That one’s my favorite.
I do admit, it’s gonna be funny as hell to see big-city Obamasuckers whining about paying seventy dollars a pound for trucked-in fresh arugula, and the food riots that will eventually ensue. But hey, they’ll be fine; liberals don’t need cheap gas, since they all ride the bus anyway.

If they try it (which might well be dubious, what with the "CO2 is a pollutant!" decision being based on the IPCC reports, which are now widely known to be exceedingly dubious as science and thus challengeable), Congress will amend the Environmental Protection Act to stop them.
(Assuming that the EPA can mandate a tax on fuel, which I'm not sure it can.)
It's too unpopular for Congress to allow, period. They'd all lose their precious jobs.
The funny thing is that it's always a *bleeping* tax. If they want $7/gal gasoline, they could also simply mandate that the minimum price a company can charge per gallon is $7.
