You can not collect high taxes on gasoline and electricity both
Well a lot of European countries are doing just that. Or rather they have “sustainable energy” mandates, which from the consumer’s point of view function as a high tax on electricity.
Not high enough to make gasoline competitive with electricity on price. which is the subject under debate. Not that I’m happy about the mandates, because they have failed. The only policies that have ever worked to clean up electricity generation are dams and nukes. Barring technological breakthroughs, I fear they are the only ones that are ever going to work outside of a band near the equator where solar might eventually become sane.
