Now airlines are going to fly their planes slower to try and save fuel, as it is fares will probably go up again soon
Foward thinking governments would have us all running round on ultra cheap to run Lithium powered electric cars, that we recharge overnight using cheap Off peak electricity rates, and also save hugely on maintenence costs as all there is is batteries, an electric motor and a simple transmission to maintain.

Seeing car makers wont do it, if I was Rudd Id spend $5 billion of the surplus and build the biggest electric car and lithium battery manufacturing facility on Earth, and supply us, and the world with electric cars, the facility paying for itself in a decade or so.
