When it comes to cars, I think that Obama is likely to push for mandatory flex fuel engines for all new cars and for an increase in CAFE standards, although nothing like the 40 or 50 MPG that some people seem to be salivating for. I would like to see Obama slap down the EPA rules that threaten $5000 a day fines for tampering with emission controls for adding an unauthorized CNG conversion kit to your vehicle.

Given his past history, I think that Obama will largely “vote present” as far as he can and let other people, like California requiring stricter emission controls and higher mileage, push the car industry towards cleaner, more efficient cars. He might go for an oil import tax, although there would probably be an exemption for Canada and Mexico.

The author gives no reason why “apologize for our way of life” even remotely deals with the topic of fueling cars other than “it says to me” ..as in you think? That’s why we’re reading your article?

To summarize, [Obama might like do something, maybe be more like Europe, or not, maybe I dunno.. Obama might do something though, I mean he said we should cuz theres bad guys.. and he knows about solar and that stuff.] Which we read because you think “our way of life” means “drive gas cars.”

It irritates me how such a powerful line “We will not apologize for our way of life” is the title of an article that dwindles down to such meek generalizations and things we were already wondering. Especially from an author that has tackled important subjects and issues not yet thought of.

Not going to happen.

And also, I don’t know how everyone in America feels, but I know that I have no interest whatsoever in a “European model” society. Besides, who is going to pay for restructuring places like Socal where planned communities are plastered all over the place? It’s an impossible goal.

We need alternative energy vehicles that offer 300 miles of range with reasonable charge time or home refueling options, etc. This is a very achievable goal.

The big 3 should have been working on this for years already and jumped right in to the market when the gas prices first shot through the roof.
