Ok, yes, they are absolutely right, it is a teeny tiny step in the right direction which is HUGE for this government! Yes, the same one that okayed drilling in Alaska. It is imperative that the Congress start leading Americans toward greener lifestyles, and my hope is that this "babystep" will turn into a trend that will grow greener each year. What the bill will do is create a standard of 35 mpg by 2020 and a standard that 15% of electricity come from renewable resources by 2020. A babystep is better than no step, so help support the passing of the bill by clicking on http://www.energybill2007.org and signing the petition to let our representatives know how we feel!
