That's the thing that people don't get.

A more effective strategy is to tax SUV's directly if you want to get rid of them in particular. A good start would be repeal of the tax credit given to businesses for these vehicles, because many people have small businesses (essentially proprietor only) that own SUV's for tax benefits.

More importantly, although people want less dino burning cars etc, let's face it, there are certain systems where dino fuel just can't be replaced easily/safely. Saltwater and mid-air (jet fuel) come to mind. How many of you guys want to be in the air with that much hydrogen during the first 10years of flight? Salt water corrodes everything & I'd guess the fuel cells as well. Certainly wouldn't want to depend on big-a$$ batteries to fly at 35K & 540mph.
