Oregon proposes per mile tax for fuel efficient cars | Page 2 | Alternative Energy | Forums

Tax them more because they strain the environ and finite resources less...or they could have increased taxes on gas more. But they didnt do that did they. I smell the hand of a filthy political lobby.

The power company in VA got a fee (tax) tacked onto those citizens that generate a certain amount of solar power. Said it was costly to maintain the grid for the non users as they might want to hook up to it at some later date. The assembly passed the reg easily....again a strong lobby and plenty of campaign donations paved the way.
