Saving Energy

Our PM has asked the people a number of measures to help conserve energy. The first issue he raised was about closing lights for 5 minutes like on the first example 8:45 to 8:50 to conserve energy. Another issue placed was asking cars not to run faster than 90 kph. As noticed the measures were only placed after record deficits in the country's account caused by energy consumption, which makes the measures seem to be more of a knee-jerk reaction than actually a well thought out plan.

On a strange note, here is my recommendations to fix the problem which I came out years ago:

1) Discard the PM Airforce One Project and ask the PM to fly on commercial jets.
2) Ask MP and VIP to discard their huge fleet of escort when they travel around the city to conserve energy
3) Ask the mobile parliment session to be conducted in the open, with no aircon
4) Address the urgent need for people to use public transport
5) Ask people to carpool
6) Stop subsidizing diesel fuel
7) Increase fuel taxes to discourage spending
8) Make personal vehicles harder to obtain
9) Increase taxes on luxurious and unneccessary high CC vehicles
10) Ask people to sleep earlier and wake up earlier

Interesting isn't it? I mean some of the policies aren't that hard to implement, but strangely enough they aren't. Maybe its got to do with vested interest, or simple shortsightness?
