See, we basically agree. 

Except for the pollution tax.  This is the most regressive tax imaginable.  There are better ways.  For example, if you give huge credits for fuel efficient vehicles, that would push people toward them.  Additionally, have huge credits for alternative fuels, like ethanol.  If ethanol gas was 3 bucks a gallon, and regular is 4, what do you think will happen?

Taxes are a blunt instrument for the gov’t.  I would prefer to have people make rational choices on their own.  The government should push the preferred choice, without making wholesale bans.  People may not make decisions for the good of the earth, but they will for the good of their pocketbook.
