Taxes on fuel are clearly not enough, and not being spent on direct mitigation, which is necessary. The taxes need to, for example, be enough to pay for carbon extraction, plus the cleanup or costs of pollution from tire particulates, etc., etc. America is totally governmentally dysfunctional and I have no solution (I'm not American, I live in the UK, which is not that much better.)
