It is not a massive savings, not like putting in 10 percent energy and getting out 100 percent. We find it is somewhat better than gasoline, but it's not a home run. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic.

[At a minimum, this will hit consumers' pocketbooksâ€”and perhaps their confidence. Before Katrina, Goldstein estimated that consumers' annual fuel bills this year would average about $250 more for gasoline and $400 more for home heating oil and natural gas than in 2004. Now he reckons those amounts will go up 30 percent to 75 percent. Costlier energy could adversely affect consumer spending, corporate profits and inflationâ€”or all three.] We could be reaching a tipping point on consumer psychology, especially when people get their home heating bills, ... Those will be big.

The economy has remained remarkably robust as energy costs have soared since early 2004. Gasoline now accounts for only 3 percent of total personal consumption spending, down from 5 percent in 1981.

Savings is an important habit. Ideally, I say, we should save 15 percent of income. Ten percent for retirement and 5 percent for other things.

Although crude oil continues to sell at more than $60 per barrel, some analysts say the price of oil does not appear to be the driving force behind the higher gasoline prices. Instead, they say, reduced refinery output is pushing prices upward. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, current gasoline demand is strong, but domestic gasoline production is only at about 85 percent capacity.

The new criteria hurts the hybrid because it's not a straight, simple gasoline engine. I've heard the mileage numbers will drop by as much as 20 percent. That 20 percent is the difference between a hybrid and a compact that runs entirely on gasoline.

Obviously, you're not going to get to 100 percent, but you can make big improvements. The African-American home ownership rate here is 40 percent. Nationally, it's 48 percent. If we can make up that 8 percent, well, that's a good start right there.

We know that most Republicans and most Democrats will take different positions maybe 70 percent of the time. But if we could find ways of at least talking about the other 30 percent, the country would be 100 percent better off than it is now.

In the long term, Madagascar will need to address its energy mix. In the past five years there has been a dependency on diesel, with 60 percent of energy coming from ... [fossil fuel], but there is a huge potential for hydroelectric power, which could be providing 65 percent of energy needs within a few years.

Ethanol makes up only 10 percent of a gallon of gasoline. If gasoline prices are up 36 cents, then ethanol would only make up 3.6 cents of that. And 85 percent of users have long-term contracts that are significantly below the spot-market prices.

Whether a person feels positive or not is kind of a comment on their personality and of no great interest. You can find positive signs or you can find negative signs. How you evaluate them depends on something that happened in your life recently or something like that. There's no objective way to do it. The important thing is you try to commit yourself to making the positive signs more real. Suppose you felt that there's 99 percent of a probability that human civilization is going to be destroyed in the next hundred years, but one percent chance it won't be, and that one percent offers some opportunities to do something. Well, you commit yourself to that one percent.

At a time when America must take aggressive steps to reduce oil dependence significantly, the proposal's estimated gasoline savings, less than 1 percent of current consumption, are paltry to the point of irrelevance. This feeble proposal represents failed leadership. It is another troubling sign that the administration refuses to take the dangers of oil dependence seriously. At a time when gasoline prices are skirting $3 per gallon, what will it take for the Bush administration and for Congress to wake up?
