Obama nixes plan to tax motorists on mileage

A tentative plan in Massachusetts to use GPS chips in vehicles to charge motorists by the mile has drawn complaints from drivers who say it's an Orwellian intrusion by government into the lives of citizens. Other motorists say it eliminates an incentive to drive more fuel-efficient cars since gas guzzlers will be taxed at the same rate as fuel sippers.

MY THOUGHTS:
I think its an okay idea especially for those who aren't ready to "go green" yet due to finacial issues. Like the caption states most of us are driving vehicles that are horrible on gas and it would be a plus to be charged the same amount as a green vehicle.

I JUST LEARNED TODAY THAT I MUST BE POSTING TOPICS ON MY BLOG RELATED TO ENERGY. I WILL DO JUST THAT AND BEGIN WITH ONE EXAMPLE.

Brazil has ethanol fuel available throughout the country. Shown here a typical Petrobras gas station at São Paulo with dual fuel service, marked A for alcohol (ethanol) and G for gasoline.
