Good Link

Via John Cole's Balloon Juice, Ezra Klein has a good post on the positives of raising fuel efficiency standards vis a vis hiking the gas tax. It's very much worth a read. While I think both those steps would do much to decrease oil consumption in the long run, obviously my strong preference would be for increasing CAFE requirements. As he says, "Why isn't this a no-brainer?"

Phil - Indeed, reducing speed limits would be a third way to immediately reduce consumption. Obviously that and CAFE would be the two more steps I'd take prior to a gas tax, which should be a final, final resort.
