Tom Friedman on Oil Prices

I was listening to Imus for a few minutes on the commute this morning and caught a little bit of Tom Friedman.

He thinks oil could sink to $20 to $30 a barrel this year — and he thinks this is horrible. He wants a gasoline tax to guarantee the alternative-energy industry a price per gallon of gasoline of around $4.

Just what American pocketbooks need during a downturn.
