Senate GOP plan calls for

$100 gas rebate
What if they were really serious about energy conservation? Did you notice that conservation isn't part of this plan? It's a typical GOP plan to throw money at the problem in the hopes that it will go away.

What if...we reduced the national speed limit to 55 mph? "Reducing speeds from 70 m.p.h. to 60 m.p.h., for example, improves fuel efficiency by 15 percent. If Americans want to know what they can do to limit gasoline price inflation, the answer is simple: slow down."

What if...Bush proposed and the GOP Congress mandated a change in the CAFE fuel economy standards for automakers? That would take some bravery...and not normally found in DC.
