Here’s a little article I never thought I would see: “Hurray For High Gas Prices!” It’s written by Freakonomics co-author Stephen Levitt and it draws attention to some of the negative externalities associated with driving. The three he discusses are increases in driving congestion, the possibility of crashing and contributions to global warming.
At the moment I wouldn’t mind if the tax on gas were to double. I do not doubt that it would take more people off the roads which would mean less idiots with which I must deal.
