Even though the legislature has recently passed a tax increase on
gas and diesel fuel, more needs to be done to discourage the use of
fossil fuels for industrial processes at stationary sources of
pollution.  We strongly urge placing a predictably increasing fee
on crude oil and natural gas used for industrial processes, to be
collected from refineries, concrete plants, utilities, etc., in
proportion to the dirtiness of the fuel used.  Furthermore, all
proceeds from these fees should be returned equally to household
throughout the state, to mitigate against the expected higher
prices for electricity, gasoline, and other industrial products
that use these fossil fuels.
