The Obama administration wants to make a few changes as is indicated in this article… If you read closely enough and think about what he wants to do you”ll realize that he is hitting the auto industry when it is down… But not only that, he is also a) hurting adoption of these vehicles and b) making it even more difficult for the regular person to get a car. How is that you say? Well it is because these “regulations” aren”t cheap, $2k to $10k per car to be passed onto the consumer… Yep sounds like a great plan considering people can barely afford their cars as it is.
I don’t have a problem with fuel efficient cars, heck my car is a honda civic that gets 35MPGs and I have CFL in most of my lights. But would I be willing to pay an extra $2000 to $10,000 for a few extra MPGs and a few less pounds of CO2 in the air?1 No I don’t think so. Regardless of the environmental impact of this, the economic impact would be very damaging. You can’t just tell the car companies to magically make more efficient cars. It doesn”t work that way. Wake up Obama, you can”t just wish things to be true.
PS. I have absolutely no sympathy for the Big 3, they deserve to go away with all their mis-management and union crap. It is sickening that the Government bailed them out, very sickening…
- Not that I believe in the greenhouse effect, its a load of crap propogated by people with a financial intrest in getting the fallicy alive, the Earth’’s temperature varies based on tons of different variables and the small amount of CO2 the USA puts in the air is not contributing the a increase in temperature by that much. More on that later… ↩
