watched news conference with president Bush live on tv.one of the journalists asked why he didn't stress the importance of saving (gas, electricity etc) instead of just talking about the price. Bush answer was that he could stress the importance for people to use less energy, but in the capitalistic system they would only do it to save money. he might be right in this. even if he shouldn't say it out loud. it is only when things gets more expensive that people are really trying to save.
the whole Sunday newspaper (that i didn't get to read until yesterday) was about saving money. possibly reasonable since money is a very serious matter in this country.
higher taxes on gas and electricity would help people to save. the whole system needs to be reconstructed and peoples lives has to be changed. any effort to reach the goal of a sustainable society is good.
