Greening the Economy
But not with money. The Obama administration is doing just about everything they can do destroy the American economy, and now wants to impose idiotic fuel-economy standards that will strain already floundering auto makers and cost consumers more.
Would this change my car-buying choices? Yes. For one, the Obama administration projects you would pay an extra $600 per vehicle, on average, in 2016 because of the new rules. It’s also likely that U.S. dealerships will stock more lighter vehicles with less trunk space, and possibly more advanced-fuel vehicles such as plug-in hybrids.
The federal government right now has such a heavy hand in running two big U.S. automakers, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler, because of their need for federal aid. Is that why the auto companies agreed to this? It’s one of several factors that pressured automakers to compromise on a single national fuel standard. Other factors include California’s push to set aggressive vehicle emissions standards and the Environmental Protection Agency’s decision, spurred by a Supreme Court ruling, to propose regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
Stop the ACLU has a good point:
There is so much to this debate, such as the whole man-induced global warming idiocy, the Federal government interfering with States Rights, government dictating policy even more to auto makers, particularly those who took bailout money, and, who is going to want these micro-mobiles, anyhow? Sure, a few will. But, the rest of will be left with no choice. I thought the Left was interested in choice?
No, they are only interested in religion, the religion of Green.
