Energy: Government Vs. Market Solutions

I agree governments make useless decisions. However in Europe where "gas" is $10 a gallon they use half or less the fuel used in the US. As a result Europe drives cards that get double the mileage of US cars, they have a better train system (in France a brilliant train system) and they are much less exposed to Peak Oil.

In contrast "the market" in the US has led to the strip mall/exurban model lifestyle that is even now proving the first casualty of Peak Oil.
