Energy Ideas, Good and Bad - New York Times

Published: September 11, 2005

In the latter category is the notion that consumers would be better off if the government acted by fiat, imposing price controls on gasoline or suspending gas taxes. A lot of otherwise level-headed people have spoken sympathetically about one or the other, including Senators Carl Levin, Maria Cantwell, Jon Corzine and Charles Schumer."
