Energy Influx.

Election 2004 update: Kerry tries to separate from the herd by announcing his proposed national energy policy today, which includes raising fuel-efficiency standards (currently at 20.7 and 27.5 miles per gallon for SUVs and cars respectively) to 36mpg by 2015. (Of the other leading candidates, Dean appears to concur with tougher standards, while Edwards - also in Iowa today to call for pension reform - has voted for a truck exemption in the past...the perils of a pickup state.)I like the "Of Big Oil, by Big Oil, for Big Oil" line...hopefully the pack will continue to call out Bush before turning on each other anew.
