..Let me add…Continue reducing emissions and CO2…increase economy..
Unless the idea of 4.00$ head of lettuce is attractive to ya?
Is that better?
If fuel was 1.99 a gallon what would our economy be like??

Funny you should ask. I’ve always believed that gas was too cheap. There are costs of using fossil fuels that we don’t really pay. For example, eventually we have to act on climate change which will be expensive, there are short term environmental costs (spills, etc0 and there are the now all too obvious political and foreign policy costs. But to imagine an economy with $1.99/gal fuel is hard because you’d have to make all kinds of assumptions and contortions just to get the price of gas down, before you even start to wonder.
