I've got a big "Whatever" for this mandate.

Isn't this very similar to what President Carter implemented in the late 70's and got rolled back anyway? I don't think the requirement will last. Some lobby group will chip away at it until we're back to where we started again.

It's either up to consumer education and awareness, economic impact of fuel costs, or citizen response that will carry the torch. Otherwise, the whole mess is moot.
