LOL! Hypocricy at its best...

And where would the tax money go if this was the case? To strengthen the economy? create industry? infrastructure? Nope to the corporate pluto/crimeocacy of wealth and privelage...

You sound like you are against freedom of choice. There is not reason to conserve. There is enough oil and gas for many decades to come. If someone wants to drive a big truck, power to them. It isn't governments place to raise the price of something just to impose some inane ideology that a bunch of ivy league nerds want.
