The choices are much more limited (and extraordinarily expensive) when it comes to heating our homes and keeping the lights on.

But it still provides options and choice while moving towards a societal goal. That's what sin taxes are all about. Since we've decided (rightfully or wrongfully) that we have to watch over the environment, this seems to be a continuation of existing and effective policy.
