Oregon strikes against EVs

[jon <jon@kenneke.com>]

Well, I sure everyone on the planet know about this, but:

<rant on>

I was filling out registration stuff for my EV today, and discovered 
registration fees for EVs (and hybirds) are twice that of ICE vehicle.

How utterly stupid! Geez, what a great way to encourage ecologically sound 
transportation. NOT! I will have to say that lawmakers in Oregon are not 
only short sighted, but quite stupid as well. Arrg.

I know the reasoning: (or lack thereof) They gotta make up all the missed 
revenue of fuel tax. Morons. Even bigger morons since there is a tax 
credit for hybirds, etc. Why give the tax credit when registration is 
twice a much?

Gotta get some letters out to protest. An, I thought that since Oregon is 
a net metering state, they would have their heads pulled out in a 
consistant manner. Guess not.
