QUOTES: FLORIDA
| "So what can the politicians do? They can mandate that auto makers build more fuel-efficient automobiles. Eventually, that will lessen the demand side of the equation. They
can pour a lot more money into alternative energy research and development...another
long term response."
Gainesville Sun, Friday April 28, 2006 |
| "Unfortunately, the solution to the real crisis goes much deeper than Band-Aid
approaches to bringing down prices at the pump. The crisis consists of what President
Bush has described as the nation's addiction to oil -- plus the absence of a credible, high-priority program designed to put an end to the addiction … A credible policy
must include a significant increase in average fuel efficiency standards for all vehicles."
Miami Herald, Monday May 01, 2006

| "Congress really does reflect America , at least when it comes to the nation's addiction to
oil. The Washington Post reported this week that Democrats and Republicans talk the
gas-conservation talk, but they aren't walking the walk. In fact, they're not walking much
at all -- and their rides are gas-guzzlers."
Orlando Sentinel, Saturday April 29, 2006

| "The president and Congress have only paid lip service to [conservation]. They need to
take aggressive steps such as raising fuel-efficiency standards for cars, setting binding
goals for cutting oil imports and using money from rescinding tax breaks for oil
companies to expand incentives for conservation and alternative fuels."
Orlando Sentinel, Thursday April 27, 2006
|
| "It is time to put Americans' determination and ingenuity to work on energy independence.
Yes, it means sacrifice -- but promises great rewards."
Pensacola News Journal, Thursday April 27, 2006
|
| "Simply put, it's foolish and self-destructive not to embrace conservation as a personal
and national mission. Permanently."
Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Friday April 28, 2006
|
| "What Americans need are new ideas and policies, and they aren't getting them from
either party. While we are waiting, we might want to face the underlying problem by
looking in the mirror. We are a nation of gas hogs and our wasteful ways are catching up
with us."
St. Petersburg Times, Thursday April 27, 2006
