The problem is, is that President Bush and the Republican leadership in the Congress have resisted attempts to increase dramatically our fuel economy standards over the last five years.

Let's give people more incentives to get fuel efficient vehicles.

Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.

We need to do more to conserve fuel or face tougher choices such as steep price increase or even quantitative restrictions.

Let's make sure we're doing what we can in our own backyard to gain our energy independence and to create American jobs with American energy.

Let's stop big government energy mandates like cap-and-trade, and instead trust the American innovator to make us energy independent.

However, it may occur that we will find ourselves using a variety of fuel sources to give us the energy we need support our lifestyles and boost our economy.

Scientists at MIT and engineering schools all across America say that they could improve the fuel economy standards for the existing set of vehicles by 10 miles per gallon using existing technology, without compromising safety or comfort at all.

We have gasoline at $2 a gallon. If that doesn't drive demand, I don't know what will.
