Yeah, but when they successfully decrease the amount of gasoline purchased where will the money come from to prop up the clean energy sources? You guessed it, another tax or tax increase.
Couple fuel increases with minimum wage increases and the average person and family is about to see a huge decrease in their standard of living. Don't expect to see a cashier at any store any longer and no telling how many other people jobs will become automated. The person that was making $11 an hour is probably going to have a lower standard of living at $15 an hour, if they have a job at all.
Nothing political, just plain economics.
