My point is that we all are impacted by the decisions that are made with regard to the environment. The technologies exist for cars to get better gas mileage, and even for petroleum to become a thing of the past. But there are people who have a vested interest in promoting the use of fossil fuels over other alternatives.

We have a choice now. We can either let these people set the adjenda, or we can set it ourselves. We, as a society need to start thinking in terms of moving beyond the age of fossil fuels. President Bush is in a position to help us move forward in a direction that would be more healthy for the planet as well as for each of us a individuals. Will he do it? It looks to me like he wants to move us in the opposite direction.
