This sounds like another band-aid solution. Congress needs to start looking at initiatives that will actually have an impact, such as funding (or more funding) for:

Biofuel production and distribution
Energy efficiency technology
Public transportation infrastructure improvements (both local and intercity)
Urban planning and redevelopment

This speed-limit thing sounds a lot like that daylight savings shift we got pulled into, which is also questionable.
