I can imagine a 40% tax on gasoline, and I'd love it. But, I think it would be nearly impossible to get it done in modern North America.

People making decisions decades before we were born were happy to create a world where car travel dominated. We were born into a world where it's hard to get around in any other way. Young kids today may be willing to make the sacrifices necessary to save the world, but almost everybody else thinks it's too inconvenient.

Yeah, we're fucked. Or at least the generations who will have to live in this hellhole we created are.
