Or maybe not. William Yeatman and Jeremy Lott argue that the "net zero" gas tax scheme is running on empty.

I am completely in favor of alternative energy and believe that one day the government will need to replace the gasoline tax as vehicles are becoming more efficient and tax revenue intended to fix roadways and bridges is lowering in comparison to the amount of miles traveled per gallon sold.
I think taxing vehicles that do not use gasoline or putting extra taxes on vehicles would be counterproductive in moving us away from dependence on foreign oil.
Rather than taxing miles driven, I believe it would be better for the government to raise the tax on gasoline. States should look at a percentage gasoline tax, especially while the price of gasoline is "low". Then as the economy strengthens and gas prices increase, so will state revenue from gasoline taxes. This will reward efficiency and create a tax that will not hurt economic recovery. www.regular87.com
