Bush Issues Executive Order on Hybrids

I'm more than happy to give credit where credit is due. Big kudos to President Bush on this one:

WILMINGTON, Del. -- Pushing the federal government more aggressively into the use of alternative fuels to cut its reliance on gasoline, President Bush ordered the government today to move toward purchasing hybrid-powered vehicles and reducing the federal fleet's petroleum consumption by 2% each year through 2015.

The executive order, consolidating earlier ones while setting new goals, follows his call in the State of the Union address Tuesday night for the nation to reduce its overall use of gasoline by 20% over 10 years.
