I think that providing incentives for new, environmentally friendly, technologies is appropriate when the start-up costs are high and there is a risk to companies who are, after all, in the business of making money. The tax break made it possible for Toyota to market the Prius in quantity in the US. with confidence that they wouldn't loose money. Of course, economy cars already get a tax break - they pay less gas tax because they get better mileage. SUV's get a special exemption from fuel economy standards that needs to be removed. Personally, I'd go for a universal carbon tax for everything that uses non-renewable energy.

It is already happening for hybrid car owners in the United States and if it helps reduce our dependency on foreign oil and reduces pollution why not.
