Like John, I forewent the State of the Union clapfest and chose to spend quality time with my kids*. So I'm wondering if the President gave us credit for the 'Drive Less!' campaign? It seems he hinted at it:
To reach this goal, we must increase the supply of alternative fuels, by setting a mandatory fuels standard to require 35 billion gallons of renewable and alternative fuels in 2017 -- this is nearly five times the current target. At the same time, we need to reform and modernize fuel economy standards for cars the way we did for light trucks -- and conserve up to eight and a half billion more gallons of gasoline by 2017.
Come on G-dub, give Env-Econ some love!
*Really I watched the NHL skills challenge instead, but hey, my kids were in the room for part of it.
