Bush wants the country to be using 35 billion gallons of renewable fuels annually by 2017, and he would like to raise mileage standards for automobiles -- efforts that he said would allow the nation to meet his goal for gasoline consumption.

Six years after killing the high mileage vehicle program . . . well better late than never. But I still remember Sen. Trent Lott standing by a large photo of a SmartCar trying to claim that increasing the CAFE would force us all to drive SmartCars.

Yet not a word from GW about the hydrogen-fraud and, "Bush has not submitted specific legislation." In short, with less than two years left, I'm not holding my breath on this one.
