I agree. It is the sane way to deal with a looming energy crises, as we approach peak oil (perhaps we are already there). The right wingers will rant and rave about the costs, but they fail to realize that switching to a new energy economy could cause a huge surge in economic growth as everyone has to update their energy using equipment from automobiles to heating systems. Then, long term we will be much better off with more stabile energy supplies, and perhaps even cheaper energy supplies, as new technologies and energy sources can grow cheaper when mass produced. Peak oil may force this change anyway by pushing oil prices and petroleum product prices higher, gas tax or not.
