The government has in the past used our money and the government's clout on projects worthwhile to this country, e.g. the railroads and the interstate highway. Why doesn't the government decide that our government fleet of cars will get so many mpg to the gallon. I also think the government should mandate that all federal building come up with a green plan. There shouldn't be a outhouse owned by the government that doesn't have a solar panel on it. This would create a market for new energy companies, and save money on the amounts we spend to heat and cool federal buildings.
