Worse than that, the Tree Huggers think we are actually lagging BEHIND the rest of the world in green tech! Guess maybe they think WE are forcing China to burn all that coal!
But you are right. And, the congress can't say what they really think for fear they might offend a voter somewhere. They act like it would be voting against God, Mom, puppy dogs, and Martin Luther King to support our car industry. Heck, most of the House and Senate members are old baby boomers who probably had a fast car once. How quickly they caved in.
I expect to live long enough to see the oil start to run out (become too expensive to burn in cars), but I don't think I'll ever see a politician stand up against "political correctness".
I won't try to argue whether or not our Mustangs have had anything to do with global warming, even though we can't deny global warming is happening. In the end it's probably what happens naturally just before the next ice sheet starts coming down.
The last ice sheet killed off the Saber Toothed Tigers. I would say that was probably a good thing, but as long as my 'stang can outrun the glacier I ain't worried about myself. Those guys in the electric cars won't be so lucky.
