Green Taxes

A few European countries have or will be implementing a tax per vehicle based on the number of miles driven. It is called an eco-tax or green-tax. The distance will be measured electronically through a GPS device in the car. The plan suggests that such tax will reduce traffic congestion and will encourage people to either take public transportation or do carpooling. The Netherlands adopted it and are trying it out. The UK and Belgium have similar proposals ready. What do you all think about this new idea of "Green Taxes"?
