Congress needs to act — now — to relax prices at the pumps through direct and immediate tax relief, put controls in place through regulation of the oil companies and begin pumping our resources again — to hell with the tree huggers.
Next, hold the automakers accountable for the energy efficiency rules set out more than 25 years ago.
I find it ridiculous that the most technological improvement we’ve had since the oil embargoes of the 1970s is a better electric window for my ride. They ought to be embarrassed, if not ashamed. That’s almost as bad as the irresponsible handling of all of the research and development money the American people have spent for alternative fuels — without tangible results in 30 years’ time.

The hike in the prices of petrol, diesel and gas is the first but not yet parting gift of the UPA government. The increase in prices of the above items excluding VAT would have cascading effect on the prices of other essential commodities, transportation cost, etc. It would further fuel inflation. The rise in prices of essential commodities and services is not accompanied by rise in income commensurate with the growing expenditure on daily household needs. Government employees are an exceptional lot since dearness allowance is given half-yearly to meet the expenditure to some extent. Middle-class people are largely affected. People must urge for the roll-back of prices. Frequent increase in prices of essential commodities and services turns the heat on the common man.
