auto fleet hybrids replaced time turns
The auto fleet turns over slowly, usually every 10 to 12 years. You're not going to see SUVs replaced by hybrids any time soon.
book happy turned work
It turned out very well and I'm very happy with the book and all the work she put into it.
bit increase price reduced takes
It takes a real big price increase to get a little bit of reduced consumption.
billions cost fix sexy
It will cost billions to fix it, but unfortunately for environmentalists, it's not a very sexy problem.
cheap fairly
It's a fairly easy, cheap way of posturing before the crowd.
crude disruption east everywhere increase matter middle price supply
A supply disruption in the Middle East would increase the price of crude everywhere in the world no matter where or how it is produced.
gas higher simply
It's not really a compensation for higher gas prices. It's simply a please-vote-for-me-in-November payment.
cars consumers deal design expectation gas government great higher job leave oil prices reduce reduction response secure wants
It's not the government's job to design automobiles. Also, there's a great deal of unrealistic expectation about what fuel-efficient cars can do. If the government really wants to secure reduction in oil consumption for cars, it should just leave gas prices alone. With enough time, consumers will reduce their consumption in response to higher costs.
It's overwhelming because there are so many things to do.
crude increase oil prices protect reduction regardless supply themselves
It's possible, but that kind of reduction doesn't protect us from supply disruption. If we don't import oil from Iran, if they removed themselves from the market, it would increase crude prices regardless of where we're getting our oil.

This bill will allow politicians to tell voters they're, quote, doing something about high energy prices. And the bill also allows politicians to hand out subsidies and preferences and tax dollars to well-organized interest groups -- and that's what Congress likes to do best.
add benefit consumers corporate energy high prices proposals provide
I don't think consumers benefit from corporate welfare, and that's all that these proposals add up to. With energy prices as high as they are, we don't need to provide any incentives.
east goal imports middle reducing
The goal of reducing Middle East imports is a meaningless goal.
