The administration is working on an Policy(presumably under clean air act) to reduce its carbon footing in cars dramatically!
Starting in 2017, the EPA has said it will impose new standards of at least 47 mpg and as much as 62 mpg!
Join me over the jump for discussion:
Here is an excerpt:
[The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are filing a notice Friday indicating they will issue a joint proposed rule next year that will require an increase in fuel efficiency anywhere in that range starting with 2017 vehicle models.
It also includes a proposed range for reducing carbon emissions from tailpipes of between 3 to 6 percent annually, according to environmental activists who have been briefed by administration officials].
The only down size to this, is the price of cars would increase appx. 2500 bucks. But, this would be paid back in a few years with cost saving in fuel amounts!
Sounds Good, and environmentalists are excited and are pushing for the very best MPG!
Good job team OBAMA and EPA!
