[Richard Stallman]

    I'm concerned that taxing certain kinds of energy sources without
    sufficient, let's say,  market freedom  (i.e., oligopolies, price
    fixing, etc) may not have the effect of driving people away from the
    taxed goods, but instead just raise the prices of the sustainable
    alternatives so that the comparative efficiency ratio remains at the
    same equilibrium as before.

Even if this happens, it is still useful -- people will arrange
to use less fuel of whatever kind.
