2. We need government action
We can go drive less, buy a hybrid if you are in the market for a car but there are so many people stuck in the Hummer or the Suburban that can't afford a new car right now or worse yet, still want to buy one. These people along with China and India are nullifying our efforts - not to downplay our efforts because they are important.

We need gas rationing, oil company profit investigation, price controls, a BIG boost in CAFE or something. If our Congressmen and President won't take real steps to control energy costs they ARE NOT doing their jobs.
