Is this called green tax bother you? They should make green choices cheaper, not tax us more!?
I UTS stealth tax. If you live in Kensington have one 4L 4×4 ANF increased yax rate is not going to bother me, since you probably can afford it but if you live in the country and has a 4×4 and are close to scraping a living and use it for what its intention is to make a real difference. I tell them I was stuck in the snow the past year 4 10 hours was very happy to see a Landrover come to save me! This would mean only rich people could afford to go on holiday or race cars and ordinary people suffer as usual. If we take climate change seriously think seriously should increase the subsidy available for solar / wind energy to promote adoption as the costs are prohibative for most and give grants for green cars. What do you think, is simply a hidden tax?
I am a huge environmentalist, but I believe "green taxes" are the way forward (at least not as being proposed by the three main games now). The behavior of energy waste in this country do not actually need to change, but will get more with the incentives you with the 'stick' of taxation. If we are going to tax people to force them to change their behavior then they need a viable option first – otherwise they are simply making people more poor and resentful. Before you start taxing the fuel to prevent people using their own cars that need to invest so heavily in a cheap, reliable, integrated system public transport – we currently have one of the worst systems in Western Europe. Protests fuel taxes in 2000 are proof that this country yet not tolerate fuel taxes across the board – it just makes some poor and isolated rural parishes worse. In my nearest town about 1000 new dwellings were built in the last five years. Apart from regulating loft insulation, no one has thought to alternative sources of domestic energy. Each of these houses may have been cable from the start taking alternative energy source and each could have solar panels. The costs of doing so during construction would have been insignificant compared with the benefits of new homes in southeast England. All this could have been enforced by the planning regulations. I think the reality is that the other tax is too easy to implement. What we need in this country with political courage and a long – time to implement real changes in public transport and domestic energy conservation and generation. Green taxes should be reserved for large industries contaminants that have the option to change their ways. All these proposals will go wrong and do more harm than good to the green cause.
