I'm not an American, but if one goes by the name of the proposed new agency, "The National Energy Efficiency Development Administration", it appears to be poorly conceived. In my estimation, if efficiency is the goal it will not result in a reduction of the overall demand for oil. It will just shift the pattern of oil consumption habits. Harry
