I’ve made clear my views on this terribly silly idea of a windfall tax on the energy companies before here. Taking the money from those who would find more oil and gas and giving it to those who will consume more oil and gas is an absurdity. We want to do precisely the opposite of course: increase supply and reduce demand so as to bring prices down.
