President to Say Something About Fuel Economy

Details are few about what the President is going to say about fuel economy in the SOTU address tomorrow, other then that he is going to say the words "fuel economy."  It is probably best though to go in with low expectations.  After all, Dick Cheney who believes that "conservation may be a sign of personal virtue, but it is not a sufficient basis for a sound, comprehensive energy policy" still plays an active role in White House policy-making. 

No matter what the President proposes - individual fuel standards for vehicles, increased CAFE standards, etc. - we can all agree that change is long overdue.  In fact, NDN has been advocating for increased fuel efficiency for years.  Read more in the NDN Agenda and the NYT article.
