| 55 MPH speed limits--save lives, do cut down on greenhouse gas emissions (slightly) and do cut oil dependence on other countries (I'm guessing that's one of your "better reason" to cut oil as a major energy source.)
Biofuels--many environmentalists are fervently against these (unless we're talking reusing food oils, etc). They are the product of Big Agro companies and the politicians they own.
BAns on incandescent bulbs--not widespread, but hardly something to tear one's hair out about.
Gas tax holiday--this one on your list especially puzzles me. It's the opposite of what anyone concerned with climate change would want. It will lead to more gas usage, obviously, and seems to be the product of pandering for votes, not reasoned policy. |
