In reaction to a Facebook group that I came across yesterday promoting a petition on the 10 Downing Street website that calls for fuel tax cuts, I have created a petition calling on the Prime Minister to resist these calls of road hauliers (and others) over fuel taxes, and to maintain the current policies of high taxes to help deter unnecessary use of private vehicles and excessive transportation of goods.
I believe that any tax cut at this time would send quite the wrong message – that we can go on consuming oil as usual! We can’t. In light of Peak Oil we need radical action to reduce our dependence on oil. High fuel taxes are one of the measures we need to help deter unnecessary use of fuel.
