Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's attempt to raise taxes on U.S. oil companies Tuesday night would not have lowered the $4 price tag on a gallon of gasoline.

At a press conference just prior to the vote, Mr. Reid read notes from a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report that concluded the Democratic bill would not raise gas prices.

The Democratic leader said he wanted lower petrol ...

SOMEWHERE, deep in the bowels of the Beehive, busy bureaucrats are dusting off an enormous, 25-year-old file entitled Carless Days. As soaring petrol prices and fears of a terrorist-caused shortfall in the oil market pushes the energy panic button, this is just a precaution, but it does raise some interesting questions about how much we have learned from past energy disasters and how many times we want to keep making the same mistakes. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, New Zealand found itself about where it is now, a potential victim of the fickle world oil market. A concerted effort was started to insulate the country from external fluctuations in fuel supply and price.
