Well, this seems like a good reason to emerge from my late-summer hiatus and post again.
The President has asked Americans to drive less. This is the Oil Industry's Man, a President who's Press Secretary once called energy conservation "a big no."
And there's this quote from an AP article:
" 'If it makes sense for the citizen out there to curtail nonessential travel, it darn sure makes sense for federal employees,' Bush said. 'We can encourage employees to car pool or use mass transit, and we can shift peak electricity use to off-peak hours. There's ways for the federal government to lead when it comes to conservation.' "
This is un-American. How can we ever be an Ownership Society if our President is asking us to Own less gas?
