Please, please, please raise gas taxes!!!! The higher the better so more people will stop supporting the ridiculous, WOKE, liberal agenda that continues to destroy this country!

NO to Virginia joining TCI. The cost will be passed onto consumers, who ALWAYS are affected. Another tax would hurt the economy trying to get back. This tax will affect truckers which will then raise the cost of EVERYTHING!

No! No! No! to TCI

I'm not in Iowa but in the UK. Your form does not welcome overseas contributuions!

In the face of all the development of electric and hydrogen technology, here in the UK, we have developed the simple, cheap Rankine Cycle engine to use bioethanol rocket fuel to produce the high torque required by HGVs and buses. It can, of course be used effectively in smaller vehicles but the greatest demand is as a power source for the larger and off-road vehicles. I don’t have to explain bioethanol to you, that the US is the world’s largest manufacturer and that the industry works at the behest of the oil companies. The two-cylinder engine may require some simple explanation and we’ll be pleased to answer queries.

The reference to rocket fuel is because, in WW2, the Germans bombed Britain with V2 (A4) rockets that travelled at a height of 128 miles at a speed of 3,500 mph fuelled by 75% bioethanol, the other 25% was water! Please ease up on natural gas, it’s far from clean.

Looking forward to hearing from you

Please stop throwing more and more taxes on middle class families. We are all tired, we need tax breaks not yet another tax on top of already crazy high taxes on our transportation costs. There is no viable route to electric cars, charging takes too long, gasoline is the only viable energy solution for personal transport needs of the average middle class consumer. Just stop funding your pet projects on the backs of people that can not afford it.

The purchase of 'allowances' does not adequately serve the purpose of reducing emissions. This cost is simply passed down to the consumer; ultimately wreaking havoc on GDP. There needs to be major tax 'incentives' to produce cleaner energy and reduce GHG. If 'clean energy' becomes synonymous with 'profitability', then the stated goals of this plan are much more likely to succeed. Simply incorporating additional costs only hurts the very people you're trying to protect and is not really an equitable solution on its own. There are many who do wish to 'go green', but the startup is simply too cost prohibitive. Please add financial INCENTIVES to this plan, as the money made from 'allowances' (over the course of inflation that comes with this type of activity) will ultimately end up being next to worthless. The fact is, we should have cut out GHG a LONG time ago. We are already overdue and the fact that corporations can just pay-up and that somehow makes it ok is an insult to our planet, voting citizens and our children. The earth doesn't work that way. 'Paid-for emissions' are still emissions. Greener energy should be a REQUIREMENT, at this point. Gas stations change their pricing constantly, and drivers who commute are not going to stop driving. Since, COVID, driving has even become many individuals full-time job. And electric vehicles provide no benefit to our environment if the electricity they use still comes from the burning of fossil fuels. Consumers still require energy. Added costs, simply get passed down to the end-users who have even less means to make an impact. Ultimately, change rests in the hands of the producers of that energy. As such, clean energy production should be mandated, if not strongly encouraged through credits and tax incentives. Simply taxing emissions, as we've already witnessed over the years, does absolutely NOTHING to produce the desired change this policy lays out. Please provide the 'carrot' AND 'the stick' to ensure our children have a habitable world to live in.

I would like to submit my disapproval for the Commonwealth of Massachusett's participation in the TCI.
