Lower the greenhouse gases for whom?
CAFE sounds great in theory BUT, in practice we'll be sending our cleaner air over to Europe and we'll be getting China's contaminated air from their coal fired plants and mega emmissions vehicles. Gee, I guess they forgot to consider the prevailing winds that circle the earth. However, if the whole world adopts these standards, it will work, but a bit too late. By that time CNG vehicles will have accomplished all the goals with technology already available. Sounds to me like another government boondoggle to minimize risk for the Big Three while keeping Big Labor happy with job security. Keep the government out of it and free market commpetition will succeed, can anyone say, "hybrid vehicles"?
