Yes, I think it's perfectly great to think about how to tax electric vehicles in place of a gas tax, EXCEPT for the fact that I think gas should be taxed extra high so that people won't use it, and if they do, a bunch of that money should go toward cleaning up the air and everything else that gets messed up on the planet due to our use of fossil fuels (e.g., oil spills). Right now, since driving an electric car is rather inconvenient because you have to charge a lot more often than you have to fill up with gas, and you can't get everywhere because there aren't charging stations, I don't think a tax on electric vehicles is a good idea. I hope that a bunch more people will adopt the technology first, and then we can think about how to tax users so that we'll have well-kept roads.<br /><br />That's great that University Meeting is working on taking climate change questions to your legislature! Great work! Let me know how it turns out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07488876505679035140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19785125.post-44632210664655782502014-09-18T16:10:14.440-04:002014-09-18T16:10:14.440-04:00THANK YOU for the story and the whys of all your d...THANK YOU for the story and the whys of all your decision.<br /><br />This month in Meeting for Business at University Meeting in WA we were talking about how to translate a statement from a large number of Quaker organizations about climate change into actions that our statewide Quaker lobby group can ask the WA state legislature to take action about.<br /><br />One person brought up a great program to support solar retrofit and conservation related house upgrades.<br /><br />I know that WA currently finances a lot of road construction with gas taxes and there is currently no provision to help electric car users pay for roads.
