Friends of the Earth Action, an environmental group, has officially endorsed Barack Hussein Obama because of his stance on the gas tax holiday. While both Senators Hillary Clinton (D., New York) and John McCain (R., Arizona) both support a temporary reprieve on the federal gas tax, Obama doesn’t agree. His solution to fight high fuel prices? Keep the gas tax in place to make transportation more affordable. Yes, you read that right. Higher prices make things more affordable. Unless he takes that tax revenue and invests in domestic oil exploration and drilling or the construction of nuclear power plants, which he won’t according to his recent remarks on the topic, transportation costs will not fall. Wind, solar, hydrothermal and geothermal energy sources are not the solution. Neither is corn-based ethanol, but Al Gore isn’t listening either.
