In the seventies, with oil prices going through the roof, the Americans did a magnificent job of conserving fuel under President Jimmy Carter. Unfortunately, it's not happening now, when the need for conservation is much greater, not only for consumers to save money but also to save the earth from the menace of global warming. The US, being the greatest consumer of fossil fuels and the greatest polluter, will have to lead the way again, if mankind is to be saved. Americans should act now, before it is too late. After all, this is the only planet we have.
