It should be both. $500 tax on all gas cars, $1000 on anything more than 10L/100km, and $2500 on anything over 12L/100km. Then a $1000 rebate on a hybrid car, and several thousand off an electric car as long as you sign up for wind power at home.
Same thing with electrical power. Extra tax on regular electricity which goes to offset wind and solar farms. Credit for homeowners who install solar.
Make being green cost effective, and people will do it.
