A subject that has piqued my interest now and again. Does anybody else share the opinion that HEV's and electric automobiles should be tax deductible? If the average family could write off $15,000-$20,000 by purchasing one of these vehicles, it would spur sales, and also cut consumption of foreign oil. Tax deductions for purchasing SUV's and pickup trucks helped increase the sales of those, but a negative consequence is an increase in the consumption of foreign crude.

Talk away.
