This tax and ALL the revenues generated would be used to supply tax credits and incentives for all individuals to offset the costs of installing solar panels and systems, wind generators, super insulation, and the purchase of hybrid cars/vehicles

Absolutely not. Alternative energy systems should be economical on their own terms. Why would should I be taxed so that you could install an inefficient energy system? If you think this is a good idea, go spend $20K-30K to install a solar roof and live happily ever after.

No. Clean technologies will naturally move forward as the price of gas rises. Forcing the issue via taxes will only make it more expensive in the long run because fast tracking any technology increases the cost of it. Best let them come into their own as they become cost-effective. We're really not that far away now. That's why the price of gas dropped last time: The oil companies realized that they were pushing the population away from their teat.
Can't have that!

no count number how a lot i attempt to wrap my mind round it, I basically can not parent out how ending personal loan tax deductions on large houses help curtail carbon emissions. except possibly the flexibility that it makes use of to warmth and mild it. besides the indisputable fact that, would not Kennedy, Hillary, invoice, and Obama plus all of Hollywood and maximum activities celebrities all stay in those kind of vast houses? basically yet another liberal attempt to develop the hollow between the rich and the detrimental. as if we do not already pay sufficient in taxes at the same time as it comprises gas! i do not study about you yet I have said presently there is an extremely aggressive bypass to push up the socialistic agenda and to develop the hollow between the rich and the detrimental. the hot tobacco tax and FDA takeover is yet another massive push because regardless what the media likes to portray, the most important percentage of human beings that smoke comes from detrimental to center type. the same with the more beneficial gas tax, that too will be funded often with the help of the detrimental to center type. Thomas Jefferson reported that we as a rustic must have a revolution each 20 years to save our freedom clean. i imagine we are well late for a revolution.

no way... our government should be forcing the auto makers to build more fuel efficient cars period. the auto makers should be forced to carry the burden not the consumer, but this is just a dream because there is no way the car manufacturers will ever produce a cheaper car that uses less gas... its called greed and that is why in the next thirty years China will rule the world

No, let the free markets take over. If it is viable to have other fuels, the markets will pay for it.
All you do by doing this is cause inflation and all prices to go up.
The problem that tree huggers have is that they try and force others to behave the way the tree huggers want them to. Really arrogant.

NO! Hey, the govt squeezes most of us dry thanks to taxes! It would just unfairly tax the poor and middle class. Why not tax the OIL COMPANIES instead? After all they are posting QUARTERLY PROFITS IN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. They can afford it more than we can. I can barely afford to drive to the flippin' grocery store (or buy groceries for that matter!).

That's crap! So when no one in the Third World does this, which is happening now in China, we in the USA can say "we are doing our part"?. So, you want to put another hand cuff on the middle and lower class? Geez. Don't believe all that liberal BS.
