Energy conservation

Why aren't any mainstream media talking about the 2 biggest ways to conserve petroleum:

FYI, those are a 55 mph speed limit and public transportation.

Transportations accounts for 60% of petroleum and gasoline 60% of that, so 36% of petroleum is made into car gasoline. Gross figures, by-products extra. At 100 million barrels a day, give or take.
Big numbers by any stretch.

GM is nearly bankrupt and will be soon. I guess advertising dollars are still rolling in.

Yes, trains and buses stink, inside and out. So does freezing to death in your old age.

Cheers.
