"Of course whenever anyone tries to wean us off the stuff we raise hell. That too has become the American way." There is a very simple way get Americans to wean themselves off of petroleum energy. That is the price mechanism. If we defined an incremental path to higher gasoline prices via an annual tax increase to a floor price of say $5 per gallon by 2014 people would by their own choice select transportation options that used less fuel. The revenue would also help address our budget problems. Instead of allowing a free people to make the economic decisions they deem in their best interests we get all kinds of crap that simply grows government. We get EPA fuel economy limits, we get tail pipe emission crap - and most of all we get more government to administer government mandates. This is a perfect example of how we as a nation are becoming ungovernable and solidly on the road to financial ruin. We need to stop the growth of government! If a new agency is needed - some existing one should be eliminated.
