[Terrapreta] shaping the debate

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi Greg,

Excellent thinking , Greg!  I agree 100%.  McCain lowering the gas tax for the summer will only give a few bucks back to Americans.  It will do nothing to stem the flow of oil from the middle east.  It will do nothing to reduce emissions.  In fact, it might increase emissions.  Greedy Americans will buy more gas when gas is cheaper.  I think anyone who drives a car in the US would be lying if they said a reduction in the gas tax would do otherwise than make them be more inclined to buy gas.

  Will not happen, because the Chinese will take up any slack that is created, if the US reduces demand.

    Well, we can see where one side is going...

    SNIP

    He also renewed his call for the United States to stop adding to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and thus lessen to some extent the worldwide demand for oil.
