Your elected officials at work. This is the same administration that responded to the recent fuel shortage by releasing some of our "strategic reserves" and never asking us once to turn our thermostats down, carpool or combine trips. It's also the same administration that gives tax credits for buying hybrids, insulation and solar energy components. Wonder how they're going to tax my *bicycle*. Or maybe they'll give me a tax credit for buying my next one. Farging idiots. Lee 2001 Colnago C40 (and a bunch of others!)
