Would you honestly invest in drilling right now when your own government clearly wants to destroy that industry with regulator red tape?

This is pure gross. As dem governors all over the country are trying to pause gas taxes these psychopaths are trying to tax people more based purely on market forces. Just scum of the earth.

Simple, you will pay a tax based on the miles you drive. A usage tax, if you will. There will be a tax. The government is not going to take it's hand out of your pocket, and in the long run, an EV will not be any cheaper to travel in that an ICE.

“Big Oil’s first priority is to maximize profits,” Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat,
Does Pocahontus not understand that any business' first priority is to maximize profits? Does she not also understand that consumers ultimately pay the tax?

Because the Democratic party is socialists and have been so for 20 years. We need to stop calling them democrats because they are no where near the party of Andrew Jackson.

Thats the goal. Their utopia includes jamming everyone into massive metropolitan areas, living in tiny apartments stacked on top of each other. No one owning cars, no one eating meat.

It's already been proposed a few times. They won't be able to use the honor system either because nobody will report their real mileage.

That’s funny that you think internet connected cars wont have built in programming to report miles driven daily. Pretty soon we won’t need cops to enforce speed limits, our cars will tell on us for them.

That's pretty much anyone. And oil is always sold to the highest bidder, unfortunately where it's going, or coming in from.

Maybe she can apply the windfall profits tax to the pharmaceutical companies profits that were made as a result of covid.

And use that opportunity to requires location transponders that report back to our overlords. But don't worry, they will only use the data to calculate your highway use taxes, not to monitor your every move.
ETA: Of course they probably do that with our phones already.
