Bush to ask Americans to stop guzzling gas


https://www.theglobeandmail.com/servl.../Business/home

hmm, good intentions, but a day late and a dollar short. Well, actually 30 years late and who knows how many millions short??

It is good to see that this issue is starting to "really" get addressed though.

Fat chance at $2.00 a gallon.

Agreed, especially when the gas prices have been between $1.82 and $1.88 for almost two weeks now around me.

Side note: I wonder how many people will actually listen to the president that has achieved the worst popularity rating ever?

Oh man, don't get me started. :D
Rhetoric, rhetoric, rhetoric. Find a parade and get in front of it. Last year he correctly accused us of being addicted to oil, the next day he had his spin lackeys retract the statement as a misunderstanding after King Abdullah asked him just what he thought he was doing.

20 percent of exactly what? The 2050 projections?

Depending primarily on ethanol and alternative fuels means "folks, don't change an F'ing thing about what or how you drive." :(

How much are we proposing to raise FE standards? 0.5 mpg? It was once 27.5 but is now something like 22 (Toecutter help me out here...).

...sorry, you just had to get me started, didn't you. :D

Seriously, I wish these words were more than a feeble attempt to pacify his opposition.

Don't forget over $14B in gifts to pig oil.

This week the Canadian media has been full of reports of our Conservative government suddenly funding environmental programs (investment into renewables, conservation programs) that it slashed a year ago when they took power.

Very much a "getting in front of the parade" thing, as polls here have shown a significant shift over the last 12 months in public attitudes on energy use, emissions & the environment.

Others are saying they don't care whether it's just cynical politics that is leading to the legislation, or genuine interest, as long as it happens.

Hello -

I would just love it if bush wore a sweater when he's reading from his arm scribbles. I'm sure that President Carter could spare one. Irony is a dish best served with a snit-eating grin!

Do anyone have any idea how much OIL our President uses in one year? When he was running for election in 2004 he came into our area three times on his jet, and stopped traffic for miles, while his caravan of huge SUV's went driving by. I know, for I was stopped for 0.5 hour twice so he could visit our area. I would like to say more, but......................
