Re: Now, is anyone even slightly surprised? (4.00 / 2)

The British government taxes petrol. At one time they were putting up the tax by more than the rate of inflation, to discourage the growth of car use.

Then a group of disgruntled farmers and truckers began demonstrating and ever since the Labour government has been terrified of another fuel protest.

The Swedish center-right government just said they will raise taxes on gasoline and diesel. They also said it would be good if a litre of gas costed a little more than €2, but they promised they wouldn't raise taxes that much. For now.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
