The plan also calls for accelerating the permitting for renewable power generation on public lands and upgrading the grid. Burning natural gas is about one-half as carbon-intensive as coal, which can make it a “bridge fuel” for many countries as the world transitions to even cleaner sources of energy.

He points out that because of high fuel taxes and the resulting high cost of gasoline in Europe, the existing fleet of passenger cars there is already more efficient than the US fleet, so implementing stringent fuel efficiency standards would be more costly for Europe.

It also would repeal a number of current tax incentives, including those for plug-in electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles. Clean fuels tax credit. Of the 42 different energy incentives, 25 are temporary and expire every year or two, and the credits for clean electricity alone have been adjusted 14 times since 1978.

Alternative-fuel vehicles will play a critical role in the effort to avoid dangerous climate change, but only if measures to stimulate their adoption in cities – with positive climate, air quality, and health outcomes – are combined with policies to drive fossil fuels out of the electricity mix in favor of renewables and other low-carbon resources.

However, the survey also found that the public may not yet be prepared for the tradeoffs and challenges needed to make these proposals a reality, with majorities rejecting measures such as a floor on gasoline prices, congestion charges, or higher fuel taxes. They are willing to pay more to develop renewable energy.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. estimates that by 2030 the deployment of EVs could cut global receipts from fossil-fuel taxes by around US $55 billion.

An additional set of costs come from on-site renewable generation and storage. But free public charging has caught to attention of local and state governments as a tax revenue generator (or a tax loophole). states now collect an electric fuel excise tax of 2-4 cents per kWH to compensate for fuel taxes lost to EVs.

Biofuel policies are clearly inferior to a portfolio of specific taxes and subsidies that directly target environmental, energy and agricultural policy goals.
