Requiring higher gas mileage from SUV producers would be the sole feasable 'restriction'. The Congress should better support home electric production to recharge electric vehicles and also support electric vehicle production in the United States so they don't just fade away while gas prices are lower.

It is time for the public to support wind, solar and fuel cell energy for automobiles rather than grounding SUVs. Laws passed to bind non-criminal activities that are more a matter of economic choice aren't the best way to encourage a free market to nominally exist at least. It would be far better to ban bad jokes on late night televison, perhaps with criminal penalties and jail time attached than to criminalize SUVs and send them for indefinate incarceration at Guantanamo Bay. Pioneers of energy conservation can track don laugh tracks and find better solutions.

Positive support for electric cars and other zero emission vehicles as Senator McCain proposed recently is a better way of circumventing the problems of the dinosaur gas fleet. Sure putting chains upon the gas guzzlers isn't an effective way to get Detroit to move away from the Saudi financial support vehicles of fuel inefficiency haven't much competition. Where are those millions of Chevy Geo's with 3 cylinder Suzuki engines getting 50 miles per gallon at car rental agencies when you need them? Even so let's consider what can be restricted on S.U.V.'s right away, besides using them in big piles along the Mexican border to keep illegal aliens out of the United States...

The best time for S.U.V. restrictions is at 3 am Washington D.C. time in Congress just when the Senators and Represent ivies are sound asleep after a night of drinking-get minimum number of politicians in to comprise an quorum and voila-thus send all U.S. SUV's on a slow boat to Guantanamo Bay with funds borrowed from China.

People wanted big, safe vehicles with a 70 m.p.h. speed limit. A little economy car that crashes at 70 or 80 has a lot more trashing, compacting consequences than does a tank like S.U.V. with pillows and frills (they never installed the coffee warming cup holder). A 55 m.p.h. speed limit leaves a little more room for safety for small cars including those with plug in electric engines.

I will try to provide some ideas about how to restrict S.U.V.'s without sending some sort of S.U.V. terminator after them from a future dimension-warning-these ideas aren't serious...

Make an S.U.V. Memorial on the National Mall
