Agreed. If they want to penalize people for damage to the environment an increased fuel tax does the trick. This is just a very lame excuse to set a very bad precedent IMO. Once countries start cracking the window open on these things it will be hard to roll them back. Similar to parts of the Patriot Act for instance.
