You amy also want to skim off some of the proceeds for alternative energy research etc.

Thin edge of the wedge my friend. As soon as the politiicans startskimming off a bit here and a bit there, before you know it there is nothing left to be redistributed.

The American taxpayer needs to pay more tax anyway to to reduce the federal and (presumably) state deficits. You also need to reduce oil consumption in toto if you want to combat the huge trade deficits that seem to be finally catching up with your dollar. Two birds, one stone.
