Recipe for oil independence:
1. Abolish all current fuel tax.

2. Replace with a $50 per barrel tax on imported oil.

3. Announce plans to increase this tax by $1/year in inflationn-adjusted terms

4. Make exceptions for Canada and Mexico, though limit their tax- free exports to the US to current production plus 10%.

5. Watch the innovators go to work.

Best Idea I've seen.

What I want to know is, when can you get one of these that's about the size of a typical home furnace?

I think the only way you'll get Americans to recycle in a big way will be if you reward them with fuel for their SUVs.
