Can we reduce traffic in our cities, and reduce oil consumption? Can we reduce our commute times and spend more time with our families? Yes we can. I am assembling a panel of experts to devise ways to save energy and improve the quality of life. They will also look at our options for new domestic energy sources." The timing of traffic lights is really not a Federal government issue. As far as new domestic energy sources oil is not expensive enough yet to make most of them worthwile. We are going to drill in the ANWR." I'm not 100% sure we should drill in the ANWR even though I am leaning that way as long as steps are taken to limit its impact. In any case allowing drilling on Federally protected land is a federal government issue. Perhaps Bush is making the wrong decision here, but it is an area that it makes sense for a president to address. Tim

Scumbria, 1. Bush comes on television and talks about the energy problems. He says: "We are too dependent on foreign energy. It threatens out national security. Let us examine all of our options. Can we reduce traffic in our cities, and reduce oil consumption? Can we reduce our commute times and spend more time with our families? Yes we can. I am assembling a panel of experts to devise ways to save energy and improve the quality of life. They will also look at our options for new domestic energy sources." We have synchronized traffic lights and one way streets here already. Why do you think it takes the Federal Government program to synchronize the lights? Joe
