Obama's Energy Speech

From Time Magazine

The short term:

• Offshore drilling, requiring oil companies to use existing leases first
• Tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (boo!)
• Grants and loans to help automakers retool for fuel efficient cars

The longer term:

• $150 billion over 10 years to get
• 1 million plug-in hybrids on the road by 2014
• $7000 tax credit per car
  
• 4% increase in mileage standards each year
• Better battery technology
• 10% of energy from renewables by 2012
• Extend renewable tax credits for 5 years
• 6 billion gallons from next generation biofuels by 2022 (actually less than the current goal, as far as I can tell)
  
• Reduce electricity demand by 15% by 2020
• New buildings 50% more efficient by 2012

The not-insignificant individual contribution: inflate your tires properly.  If everyone in the U.S. had properly inflated tires, we'd save 4% of our oil consumption, more than we'll ever get from offshore drilling.   Mocking this means you love giving terrorists our oil money.
