Op-Ed Columnist - The Copenhagen That Matters - NYTimes.com

A Thomas Friedman article regarding Denmark's tax on gasoline.

"Already the green taxes here are quite high," said Espersen. "And even though we know this is not popular with business and industry, it has made all the difference for us. It forced our businesses to become more energy efficient and innovative, and this meant that, suddenly, we were inventing things nobody else was inventing because our businesses needed to be competitive."

This is more or less a survival of the fittest, isn't it? When in the last 100-years have you known America not able to survive with the fittest? I say bring it on and make us Americans think a little instead of sitting on gchat all day at work waiting for something to problem-solve.
