Agree. Along the same line goes the proposed taxation of miners in the US. In a free society people pursue goals they deem important individually and as such the input of time, labor or more generally "energy" is considered a valid and necessary use of it. By taxing certain usages of energy the government does inhibit or at least hamper the pursuit of individual goals. This is moving society more to planned economic model (e.g. as in Communism, Socialism), where the central authority/planner decides the level of innovation desired in society, which is never ever (been) unbiased (govt.is made up of humans with incentives). Taxing energy does not seem a sensible approach, rather could the output achieved be subject to tax.
