Jerry Taylor Prices Quotations

It's not the government's job to design automobiles. Also, there's a great deal of unrealistic expectation about what fuel-efficient cars can do. If the government really wants to secure reduction in oil consumption for cars, it should just leave gas prices alone. With enough time, consumers will reduce their consumption in response to higher costs.

It's possible, but that kind of reduction doesn't protect us from supply disruption. If we don't import oil from Iran, if they removed themselves from the market, it would increase crude prices regardless of where we're getting our oil.

It isn't where natural gas prices will be this winter or even next winter, but where the prices will be over the lifetime of the project.

One side believes prices are established by supply and demand, ... The other believes prices are the result of conspiracy, whim or production costs.

I don't think consumers benefit from corporate welfare, and that's all that these proposals add up to. With energy prices as high as they are, we don't need to provide any incentives.
