there is gonna be NOTHING left

[tada]

I agree gas taxes better solution than carbon tax which is more complicated and might require another level of bureaucracy. And when I see the jammed streets on Oahu my conclusion is everybody can afford to drive a car except me and my Undeniable truth of life- Americans and French people are born to drive. But really I don't think you need a car to live on Oahu. The place you need a car is the Big Island. I also think Oahu people are intimidated by the distances on the Big Island. So perversely gas taxes make Oahu the place that could afford to lose some population a more attractive place to live.
