97. Conservation, reduced speed limits, 4 day work weeks,

investment in public transportation/rapid transit. These are just a few, I'm sure there are many others.

The very fact that Dubya and Co have been begging us to quit driving so much and so fast reinforces the idea that they are gleefully lapping up every oil/gas dollar spent. They don't want us to conserve. At least Jimmy Carter in the 1970s reduced the speed limit!

It is going to take a huge public information campaign to convince people that it is in their best interests to conserve. Hopefully Gore's informational program will cover this issue.
