Honestly, if everyone is the US got rid of their cars, and powered their homes by solar energy, I doubt it would change anything at all.
So please, forcing auto manufactures to acheive some unrealistic brand "MPG" and coercing everyone into buying CFL bulbs.... Spare us...
Rant over...
this would change a lot... i wouldnt mind paying 10$/gal if my car got 100mpg...
on a more serious note, there are other reasons why the US should be concerned with mpg, such as, forgien cars are better than ours AND cheaper... we have very little manufacturing left the way it is...
the CFL bulbs save us money and, for places like CA, help when there are power shortages...
I do agree that there are other countries that polute much much more than we do but there are other countries with much higher disease rates as well, does this mean when should stop looking for a cure...
