... which is why you just simply tax fuel, instead. people adjust their behavior (or don't) based on the price incentives placed before them in the way that is most efficient to their own circumstances.

taxing fuel is the most economically efficient way to achieve objectives, and it is also the simplest. you run into problems (and bureaucracy) when you try to target these things... just tax the fuel.
