WASHINGTON (AP) - In his first State of the Union address to a Democratic-controlled Congress, President Bush is calling for Americans to slash gasoline consumption by up to 20 percent by 2017.

Bush envisions the goal being achieved primarily through a sharp escalation in the amount of ethanol and other alternative fuels that the federal government mandates must be produced. The rest of the fuel use reduction is to come from raising fuel economy standards for passenger cars, Joel Kaplan, White House deputy chief of staff, told reporters in a briefing before Bush's Tuesday night speech to a joint session of Congress.

If we were to make it to a 12% reduction , we could do without Middle eastern oil.


I guess we need to reduce 20% so that we can do without Venezuelan oil too.



























Whisper it.....

Of course, he will.  Obviously, he is a tool of the extremely powerful wool and sweater lobbies.
