More freebies? more money from congress and elsewhere? let's stop that and move into the next century. Surely, big oil is getting in the way and electric concept cars are waiting to tajke advantage of the "need' to keep their prices high and profit margins wide, but can't we get moving on this before the earth really puts it's foot down and emissions destroy us all? it is a sad commentary on life when we can’t seem to get this electric concept off the ground.

I know you must be aware of the energy bill on the floor right now that is aiming to raise fuel efficiency standards to 35 mpg by 2020 and increase (significantly) the use of renewable energy sources. So many people are unaware of the benefits that there changes can make not only to the environment but to the economy as well. I am working with a coalition that is also urging people to petition their representatives to keep the standards as they are and not lower them because of pressure from auto lobbyist. I could sincerely use your help getting the word out. The petition is available here: <a href="http://www.energybill2007.org/" rel="nofollow">www.energybill2007.org</a>. Thanks Lyle! And keep up this amazing blog! Hey Lyle, I really respect your effort to try to get people motivated about contacting their representatives.
