And yet, you assert [in a prior post] that making cars fuel efficient to 50 mph should not be a national goal and part of national policy. To be frank, I am real tired of such near sighted observations particularly in light of the fact that you all want to drill for oil in our national parks and off our coasts Drilling for oil in places where we have not drilled before is a logical response to higher oil prices. I don't think the increase is such that its a huge deal that we drill in those places now (esp. because it will take years before we get a lot of oil from new fields) but in the long run it makes sense. If not now, than at some point in the future. But I don't recommend specific drilling locations be part of a grand "national policy" or a major "national goal". I recommend rather that much decisions not be made as part of some grand national goal. Even politically made decisions don't have to be part of some major national goal, and many of the decisions on things like what types of cars to produce, don't have to be, and shouldn't, be made by the government.
