"We would get much more out of our investments if we were to have higher mileage cars and fast-track investment in biofuels of all kinds, looking to see what we can do for energy efficiency."

Our investments???!!! The oil companies are begging Congress to allow them to explore and make investments in the huge swaths of the US closed for exploration. From their viewpoint investing in say drilling in ANWR is a lot better then investing in that scam ethanol. Of course in PIAPS's mind the gov't should be controlling everything and there is no such thing as "mine" but always "ours".

Wait a minute. I think Congress and the Bunny Huggers would let us invest our money in “Green Technology” (i.e., personal methane recycling (ala the SF fart sniffing genre), solar energy (for Seattle), and a host of other high efficiency feel-good technologies).
