¿ Do you support congestion pricing to help reduce rush-hour traffic jams in the centers of the nation's cities, where huge amounts of petroleum are wasted in nonproductive engine idling?
¿ How does legislation that asks industry to do big things, while excusing consumers from doing anything, help to reduce the nation's overall consumption of oil?
¿ Did we not try that in 1975? Tell us, please, what has been the overall real-world result in reducing America's consumption of oil?
¿ Finally: How is it possible that we Americans barely represent 5 percent of the global population, yet we consume 25 percent -- and by some estimates, a continually growing percentage -- of the world's energy resources? Is that why "they" hate us?
