Charles Krauthammer has a radical solution for energy independence:
Put a floor at $3. Every penny that the price goes under $3 should be recaptured in a federal gas tax so that Americans pay $3 at the pump no matter how low the world price goes.
Why is this a good idea? It is the simplest way to induce conservation. People will alter their buying habits.
I don't agree with every word of the column - he also makes a pitch for ANWR drilling - but it's not only the simplest way to get people to conserve, it's the ONLY way.
