Danish Green - Would it work Here?

A senior producer at Iowa Public Television sent me this article. It's from a NY Times opinion section, written by Thomas L. Friedman, a three-times Pulitzer Prize winner in economics.

Do you think this is an approach that would work here?

One of the dumbest suggestions made here was when McCain Suggested dropping the gas tax for the summer.

Higher gas tax would indeed promote some useage reduction.

Although I consider our recent past extreme gas prices to be gouging they were high enough to
pound a little sense" into the high powered Big SUV buyers heads.

The high gas prices have stimulated at least two things - lower prices and 0% interest on those big SUVs; and long lines for Priuses.
