A Basis For Legislation To Encourage Conservation Of Automobile Energy Fuel, James Pinson Ludwig
A Basis For Legislation To Encourage Conservation Of Automobile Energy Fuel, James Pinson Ludwig
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
A detailed basis for legislation to institute a system of rating automobiles according to their energy costs is proposed, together with mechanisms to tax wasteful uses of energy associated with cars. A complementary rebate system for owners of very efficient vehicles also is proposed. This proposal is advanced instead of systems of increasing energy supplies or gasoline rationing to control consumer demand.
