Energy saving plan into action

[NewsWhore]

Last night President Leonel Fernandez ordered the implementation of his recently announced National Energy Saving Plan. As part of the plan, 16,000 public transport vehicles were labeled to determine which would be allowed to run on certain days, light bulbs in 300 public buildings were replaced and the fare subsidy for UASD students was initiated. As part of the plan, Fernandez instructed Administrative Minster to the Presidency, Luis Manuel Bonetti, to distribute funds designated for the plan as fast as quickly as possible so that the measures could be fully implemented before the end of the year. The amount of money allocated to the initial part of the plan was not announced. Last night Fernandez met with the commission he appointed to put the energy saving plan in action. During the meeting he said that the stoplight synchronization program should begin as soon as possible and instructed Transit Authority directors speed up traffic flow as a way of saving money, and the installation of new LED stoplights will decrease the amount of time spent in traffic, supposedly reducing the amount of fuel used.
