I think he's going about it the wrong way, or at least, isn't doing enough. We need to force auto companies to produce fuel-efficient automobiles as well, and the standards should rise year after year. If I had it my way, the car companies must produce each, one model that gets at least 35 miles to the gallon. The next year, they must each produce a model that will go 37.5 miles for each gallon put into it, and so on and so forth. This will keep their pockets fat as consumers buy new cars to achieve the greater fuel efficiency of the brand-new models, and will also produce a broadly positive result environmentally.

And Gaius?


It makes my inner bleeding heart tree huger happy.

Full disclosure, when I was 12 I pledged 24 hours of work for earth day. I am secretly very concerned about the environment.

The real environmental presidents, including our man TR, and Richard Nixon who created the EPA, were Republicans.
