I just saw an article on CNN today that an influential Senator wants to lower
US speed limits again to conserve fuel. If this passes we will need to change a
lot of highway signs. As long as we're changing the signs, why not just set it
at 90 km/h or 100 km/h? Does the USMA have any contact with Senator Warner or
within the Energy Department? Can the Energy Department influence
Transportation Department policy?
I would not recommend you associate metrication with a proposal that will
(A) prove extremely unpopular
(B) be seen as an unwarrented interference in people's live by the
Federal Government (I'm not saying it is, but this will be how it's seen).
(C) probably be rejected as something that didn't work in the past, and
won't work now.
