And what about the EV-1 that GM produced in 1996. A 100% electric vehicle that GM leased to a select few in California and Arizona. They were so efficient they threatened GM’s gas guzzling line of vehicles so GM took back each vehicle and destroyed them (in a car crusher). Now we have the Hummer at ~10 mpg. Good call GM. Their award for this is…
$25 billion in federal loans for manufacturing cleaner cars. Followed by a $17.4 billion bailout.

I don't think the congress can do that. When all the shots are being called by the oil companies, a gas tax is barely on the cards. The bailout itself is a desperate measure to prevent collapse. California is doing its bit by imposing regulations on auto makers and judging by the flak Arnold had to receive from the auto makers, I don't think any new regulations or taxes are to follow in the near future.

Rather than pile onerous green regulations on the domestic automakers, the U.S. could do what the rest of the world does and raise the Federal gas tax. But Congress seems to be too cowardly to do that, instead foisting the problem on automakers via CAFE standards, or if you are California, via CO2 emission standards.
