Great...he just recently rejected the option to raise fuel efficiency standards. He's a hardcore oil man...to the bone.

Or...we can continue to import 70% of our energy consumption and continue with the largest transfer of wealth in human history out of our country.

That's not the only alternative option available...and Bush knows that. The quickest and most cost effective ways we can reduce our dependency on Foreign Oil is reducing our consumption...and a lot can be done in that area alone.

As if the American people cannot decide what type of vehicles they should buy? Maybe we need another dose of "Big Brother" to force Americans to buy the appropriate vehicles "Big Brother" has decided we should buy?

I think I can make my own decisions. There are high mileage vehicles available. If Americans want them we will buy them.

I'm all for people being allowed to buy what they want, but everyone who drives anything achieving less than 20mpg needs to stop whining about gas prices.

Reducing our consumption would be quick?

I'm not questioning effective.

The Fed already affects the auto market in many ways. When faced with all the consequences of using oil, I don't think it's over-reaching to have higher fuel efficiency standards. We already have regulations on cars that produce too much smog. All it takes is the political will for better regulations.

Do you know how long it will be before we'd see any oil from new drilling?

This won't be enough. Need to drill in Alaska too. Pretty much anywhere there is any oil in this country.
