This proposal is backed by all three main parties.
Yet another reason to vote for any party but Lib/Lab/Con.
From the Telegraph:
The levy is part of a £150bn package of measures, including a tripling of fuel duty over the next decade and a household energy tax, put forward by the Green Fiscal Commission (GFC).
The recommendations will be published on Monday by the GFC, which was created to develop greener government measures, and will be presented by one of its commissioners, Lord Turner, who is also chairman of the Financial Services Authority.
Greg Barker, the Tory environment spokesman, Alan Whitehead, a Labour MP on the energy select committee, and Chris Huhne, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, will also speak at the launch of the 100-page report.

Its difficult enough to remain in a neutral, but sceptical point of view when it comes to all things environmental, but each time I read crap like this, I'm ever inclined to flick the V's and call bullshit on the whole ideology of "greenness" is just another fraud perpetrated against the masses.
Erm, I'll get off my soapbox.
Soz!
I so agree. We have over a thou thousand QUANGOs and an over-complicated tax system. Slash and burn, before taxing us!
