Tax credits for hybrids "tinkering around the edges"?

A tough, new article by BusinessWeek, Bush is blowing smoke on energy notes that vehicles account for 60% of U.S. oil consumption and calls the President's tax credit proposal for hybrid cars "tinkering around the edges".

Energy independence from foreign oil is possible with today's technology. That's a fact.

If the U.S. is at war against terror, why isn't ending foreign-oil dependency as quickly as possible a national priority? Why isn't every one conserving and pitching in - as we did during WWI and WWII?

BusinessWeek says it's politics, I say it's pathetic.

Regardless, while tax credits for hybrids and other clean technologies might be tinkering, they could help force Detroit to come to grips with fuel efficiency, and that would be much better than doing nothing.

How can this message be sent to the Senate?
