What clueless, sycophantic fools support him in his mission!
Well, the article says that they’ll sign anything 15 years away...actually, they could have agreed that their cars would get 1500 miles per gallon on cat urine, because, God willing, this agreement will be ripped up in 2013.
I didn’t know Congress passed such a law. I mean, it must have, right? It says right there in Article I Section 1 that Congress has all legislative powers therein granted.
That about covers it!
But now we have some wonderful jogging trails!!
BTW what existing or conceivable vehicle that gets 54.5 MPG would anyone buy for more than short commutes? Oh that's right we need to be herded into urban areas so we can utilized the wonderful mass transit systems that exist in say; Orlando, Tampa, Toledo?
PS: I just realized how they will achieve the new CAFE standards. As the country is going downhill now......
Americans will save about a zillion dollars just getting his sorry asa voted out of office.
In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made politicians. - - - Mark Twain
I think one of the problems Obama and the Democrats have with America is that white families are still having way too many kids.
But if you force them to drive 2-seaters, that problem goes away.
This is all about driving the cost of private vehicles up and forcing the mass of people into public transportation. Private vehicles will be the province of the elite and pretty soon they’ll have their own private driving lanes, just like Moscow used to be.
It gives the village idiot something to convince his deluded followers that we don’t need to drill here now. After all we’re looking at 50+ mpg for automobiles and pickup trucks.
If the EPA was corraled and we were allowed to import more of the diesels from Europe we could get close to 50 mpg now.
what arrogance.
who can predict what technologies and life will be like that far in the future?
They more or less have to sign whatever President Zippy demands. But they know by 2025 it won’t matter what they signed in 2011.
In 2025 either Zippy will be gone or the US will be gone.
And no matter what Zippy demands, what can actually be produced will be still be dictated by the immutable natural laws of mechanics, physics and thermodynamics, not by Zippy’s socialist night dreams.
Good lesson!
Free trade does not move manufacturing overseas....regulations move manufacturing overseas.
Right now, it is feasible to build cars in the US and sell them for a profit.....despite unions.
Now that the gov’t is requiring increased technology to achieve higher fuel economy, companies will have trouble selling as many cars because they will cost more. Consumers will keep their old cars longer.
So what will happen?
All those joint auto ventures in China will be used to ship cars back to the US!
Yes, this is how it works.....eat away at profits or make domestic companies sell fewer vehicles and they will look to recover those profits in other ways. Since they cannot get the UAW to lower wages or introduce more automation, they will turn to other countries.
Obama and his band of faggy apparatchiks never worked in a real job making things. (I have) They have no idea what it takes to do this and run this kind of business. Nuke the EPA. Fire every last blood sucking leech.
Those who can’t do, govern. Or at least seek to. These useless eaters seek to rule the producers of America. They oppress our oil, gas and energy producers. They oppress our farmers in California by denying irrigation water. They drive our manufacturing overseas via OSHA and EPA regulations
Rick Perry is conservative enough to reverse all this. I don’t need an unelectable super-conservative. Just one who will drive Bammy Boy and Moochelle out of the White House. Who will boot commissar Lisa Jackson out of the EPA
