Yeah - I believe that it can't be serious, but I'm gonna ask you guys,
and any one else that's angry about it to send a short e-mail to your
congressmen letting them know how you feel about it. Taxing people for
trying to help save energy is insane!

Yes it is, but nothing makes much sense these days. Why haven't the speed
limits been rolled-back? What happened to fuel efficiency requirements for
SUVs? I think the bottom line is this: There is a buck to be made on every
barrel of oil refined.

Well, needless to say, I don't like that idea. Why don't they
tax the really heavy cars more first before they go after
folks who are actually trying to use less resources?

Were it up to me, I'd add a buck to every gallon of gas an use those
billions to fund the search for alternatives. That would have the positive
side effect of encouraging conservation.
