I think you are talking about gasolene taxes? ERC is not producing fuel cells for cars so I don't see the comparison.

Comments on taxes and government intervention:

I think fuel cells should fail or succeed on the ability to produce power at a lower cost and with fewer proven pollutants. Not because some government thinks it knows what is best. Witness previous government intervention in the fabricated Energy Crisis. Shale oil was a major mistake. Why not let the market place determine these issues? In the absence of good science to the contrary the CO2 issue seams to me to be a political issue. I for one can spend my (tax) dollars more effectively.

I am driving in a car, maybe a little above the speed limit. I sold the truck years ago. The car gets much better fuel economy than that old truck and is 95 percent cleaner. I feel good about the progress we have made cleaning up the environment. The air and water are significantly cleaner. There is an intersection ahead but I can not see it yet. When I can see what lies ahead I will slow down. Otherwise I need to keep moving or I will be late for work and someone else might get my job.

Of course you overlook the other question: was the natural incline there prior to you showing up or is there an earthquake going on?

It is not necessarily prudent to "take the foot off the gas".
