now. The video is not about now, it is about the very near future.
The problem with drastically raising taxes on energy is that it affects the whole economy. Cheap energy is how the world became so wealthy. When petroleum alternatives become cheaper, then world prosperity will grow further, and oil use will drastically decline.
Vehicle fuel efficiency has dramatically improved, especially in the last decade, and every indication is this trend will continue.
