If you tax energy and neutralize the result by reducing income tax rates and increasing the earned income credit, you end up with much better energy efficiencies for the long term (like ten years from now) when oil production will start to wane, and OPEC will REALLY have us by the balls. The net tax is the same, so you are not hurting the economy.

Europe and Japan produce roughly the same per capita GDP as the US but only spend half or less energy per unit of GDP. Their energy taxes are huge compared to ours.

If we wait for the market to do the job for us, we are in for a huge surprise, because the market in oil is rigged by OPEC. And they are preparing a very nasty surprise for us which will become apparent in less than ten years.
