The simplest way to reduce automobile deaths

Speaking of cars:

There is a very simple way our country could reduce energy consumption, reduce carbon emissions,  lower traffic fatalities, and cut insurance rates-install governors on all cars to reduce speeds to 60 mph.   It would take a little longer to get places-but from a utilitarian point of view, the benefits outweighs the inconvenience by a long shot.

Cars cause a kind of a great insanity, though-people who couldn't care less about other government intrusions on our freedom and privacy become irate at the idea of controlling how fast we can drive.
