“So one may almost say that the theory of universal suffrage assumes that the Average Citizen is an active, instructed, intelligent ruler of his country. The facts contradict this assumption.”

You mean, increase the cost of doing oil-dependent business.
I think that's a good thing. I think petroleum should be taxed up to at least $5/gallon (perhaps more, and augmented by license, lane and speed restrictions on vehicles from H2 Hummers down to full-size pickups). We should make it both expensive and inconvenient to be a wastrel.
Oil is going away. The last thing I want is to encourage anyone, starting with the oil companies, to think that this isn't the beginning of the end of the oil age. If a repeal of a tax break helps, it's doing at least some good.
Exactly.
And BTW, in a pay as you go mode teh House is in, funding for renewables must come from somewhere. Consider this an after cost for the ultra-cheap gasoline of the 1990's and early 2000's.
