Remember poor, maligned Jimmy Carter? About 30 years ago, he urged us to
cap the amount of oil we were importing, and to force automakers to take
the steps necessary to manufacturer 48 mpg cars, and to develop
alternative sources of energy.

I remember. His plan to be "energy independent" by the year 2000 was
laughed at. You think we would be in Iraq right now, if we had followed
his plan? Also interesting to note, McCain is proposing an energy
independent plan by the year 2025. Sometimes Republicans seem a little
slow to me. ;-)
