The leaders of both political parties are not only headed in the wrong direction with respect to gas prices, but also fundamentally misunderstand the factors behind the current situation at gasoline stations around the US.

Bartlett’s message is logical and moral: Don’t try to fulfill rising demand to cope with peak oil via supply solutions because this would mean “more greenhouse gases” and increasing our future vulnerability to a greater supply crunch. Hirsch’s “most optimistic case is an assumed crash program” when people can agree the crisis is finally here.
