<If you think the government should interfere to reduce gasoline usage and/or CO2 emissions the best intervention is one that imposes a cost on the undesirable thing you want to suppress, and than leaves it up to individuals to decide how they will deal with the cost. If you have to intervene don't reward/subsidize some vehicles and punish others, increase the tax on gasoline or apply some sort of tax on all fuels depending on the amount of carbon they contain and CO2 they produce.> I totally agree. I am just disgusted with all of those tax subsidized Hummers I see driving around. That's why I posted the article. Not that I think they should subsidize hybrids.
