- The time for running scared from Big Oil is over. The time for making a change is now. 

It is time that our leaders mandate car companies raise their mileage standards>>

The technology is here. And you'd think that after all the news on global warming that our leaders would have already acted. But nothing has happened. Yet.

I want higher miles per gallon>>

The Senate is considering a number of energy ideas. Their plan must significantly increase motor vehicle fuel economy standards and increase the availability of alternative fuels to use in our vehicles. Their plan should also increase other forms of energy efficiency, close loopholes for oil and gas drilling on public lands, and make the energy grid more energy efficient.

If Congress adopted a provision setting a mileage standard of 35 miles per gallon by 2020 we could save 1.2 million barrels of oil per day and save consumers at least $25 billion. Without such measures, the U.S. will continue to consume vast quantities of oil and generate global warming pollution.

Demand a plan to improve vehicle fuel economy and make cleaner fuels more available to consumers>> 

Thank you for helping make a difference on this important issue!
