Certainly, lighting projects, like at the<br>\nNational Monument park and other locations will be affected by<br>\nthe energy-saving programs,\" Sutiyoso said at City Hall on Friday<br>\nafternoon.<\/p>\n<p>He promised to directly monitor the energy-saving drive, but<br>\ndid not mention sanctions for violators.<\/p>\n<p>\"We also call on (the occupants of) commercial buildings<br>\nbelonging to private companies to participate in the drive,\" he<br>\nsaid, adding that his administration was preparing detailed<br>\nguidelines for the implementation of the policy.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sutiyoso, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral<br>\nResources has come up with a series of energy-saving projects.<\/p>\n<p>\"They include the extension and expansion of the three-in-one<br>\ntraffic policy to reduce the use of private cars. However, I have<br>\nopposed the idea since we are yet to provide reliable public<br>\ntransportation vehicles,\" the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>Other propositions include higher parking fees, vehicular<br>\ntaxes, banning old cars from the roads and the use of compressed<br>\nnatural gas (CNG) as an alternative fuel.<\/p>\n<p>\"We have to study the proposed schemes carefully. We expect to<br>\ncome up with viable schemes on Sunday,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>All governors are expected to discuss the issue after<br>\nattending the wedding reception of First Lt. Agus Harimurti<br>\nYudhoyono, the firstborn son of President Susilo Bambang<br>\nYudhoyono, and television host Annisa Larasati Pohan on Saturday<br>\nnight at the Bogor palace.<\/p>",
