That's a very different answer than the question of a carbon tax. You're not addressing the question. I mean, I accept what you're saying, that in fact there's no question, or the idea that having strong regulations on manufacturers of vehicles and so forth and limiting emissions that way is important. But if you're proposing that we also have a tax on oil, my question is, how much, and what impact do you see it having? I think we've seen some modification. It's one of the reasons I bought a Prius, along with the fact that it's better for the environment, and we all care about that, hopefully more and more these days, but not enough yet. Lots of folks are still buying SUVs and trucks and everything else.
