The mind of the committed liberal is a terrible thing to watch. I would be very happy to waste those particular minds. That wouldn't be terrible at all. It could be quite beneficial to my standard of living if their minds were allowed to go dormant and stop thinking up ludicrous plans like this:
Taxing Transportation 'til It Stops
Yes, that comes out of Harvard which you may recall is within the tiny town that is going to single-handedly nudge America down the path toward green energy leadership. See, if only our 300 million people would bring our wheels to a halt then the other 6 billion folks in the world wouldn't matter.
We've already done a magnificent job of screwing up free market principles for our gasoline by refusing to exploit our own natural resources of oil and by denying permits to build new refineries to produce motor fuel. We top it off with a huge dollop of eco-friendly additives, compounds and bio-fuel gimmickry to raise prices higher. Then garnish with federal and state taxes to fund road construction but steal that money for other purposes when it shows up in the treasury.
Now, let's make driving punitive entirely. When no one can drive, that should decisively deal with unemployment because no one will be able to get to work. But that won't matter because we won't have money to buy products which would have been made by those former workers who drove good old American iron to their jobs.
Yes, we've got taxes now being proposed not as the means of providing essential government services. They are now recognized as the perfect means of compelling behavior of the lemmings. This way lies distopia.

"Smart Grid meets 100 percent of the Technocracy's original requirements as described above. In other words, it will monitor and control both delivery and consumption of energy and other green resources such as water and gas."

Just as "gun control" isn't about "guns", it's about "control", if you can control my use of energy you control me. Control of the food supply is being concentrated in only a few giant corporations via the increasing use of patented, non-reproducing genetically-modified seeds. Control a people's access to food and you control them- Henry Kissinger (a Trilateralist) recently posited this tactic. Control people's available income by making them dependent on government checks and you control them. Control people's movement by requiring "Real ID's" taxing the snot out of them for traveling, and you control them.
