Just think if every state was given a waiver and they all imposed a different set of standards on the industry.
Arnie doesn’t seem to care about that — only fighting “global warming” windmills.
What a jerk.
What's wrong with Federalism? Do you think the voters shouldn't have the latitude to cut their economic throats? Do you believe in one-size-fits-all regulations?
When we federalize regulations, we can't learn how stupid they are, especially when the conditions vary from state to state. A place like Anchorage or Denver has very different air quality problems than a place like San Francisco. What is wrong with allowing the car companies to decide how they want to market their products to take advantage of or deal with those distinctions and develop products that optimize the cost/benefit ratio in each instance?
For example, wouldn't it be cool if your car could read a GPS coordinate and adjust its performance once it got out of town? You'd get better mileage.
