WASHINGTON (AP) – President Bush, prodded by a Supreme Court ruling, said Monday his administration will decide how to regulate pollution from new motor vehicles by the time he leaves office.
Bush signed an executive order directing federal agencies to craft regulations that will “cut gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles.” He ordered the agencies – the departments of Transportation, Agriculture and Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency – to have the rules in place by the end of 2008.
The announcement came as gasoline prices hit a new record. The average national price of a gallon of gas reached $3.07 on Monday, above the previous peak of $3.06 set soon after Hurricane Katrina hit at the end of August 2005.
Perhaps someone should inform these morons… including Mr. Bush… that there’s only so much energy in any gallon of gasoline. Also, someone should inform them that people are going to die because of this.
The lighter the vehicle is, the more miles per gallon it will get, but it’s also far more dangerous to those inside said tin can when they have a wreck, air bags and seatbelts not withstanding.
Sorry; I chose LIFE.
