If the cost goes up 1300 dollars that will be what 5% of the cost of the car ??? Teach is 5% a “drastic” change ??

An extra $1300 might not seem like a lot to you Johnny, but to someone raising a family on a budget, (like me) it is. To have to spend an extra $1300 on a new car means that I can’t spend it someplace else, such as on a new refrigerator or washing machine(energy star rated of course), or mu kid’s braces. However, if you want to take Barry’s words to heart and spread a little of your wealth my way since you seem to just have an extra $1300 laying around, feel free to send it my way. After all that would be the fair thing to do right?

Here at America’s Power, we know not everyone is following what’s happening in Washington, but right now there’s a hotly debated bill in Congress called Waxman-Markey that deals with the issue of climate change.

We need a climate plan that’s affordable and effective. Americans should support a plan that:

• Achieves emissions reductions
• Creates jobs
• Preserves fuel diversity as a means of promoting greater energy independence
• Protects consumers against unnecessarily
high energy costs

We support a federal plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but the Waxman-Markey bill needs to do more to guarantee that consumers are protected from unnecessary increases in energy costs. Because without these changes the bill is not affordable – and therefore, not effective.

On one hand, Hal, people will want to drive more. On the other, the micro-mobiles that will be available will feel unsafe to drive farther then the grocery store.

That’s the way it works, John. $1,300 here, some more there, and pretty soon we are talking some serious money. But, that isn’t even the full point: government is legislating more and more of our freedom away.

Obama Announces New Fuel Efficiency, Emissions Sta…

Therefore, if I get in an accident in a government mandated Obama-mobile will I be refused medical attention because I did not take proper actions to avoid being hurt so bad; such as driving a bigger car…don’t think that convoluted type of situatio….

The more I read about this the less I like it.

The costs to ramp up production and tech by that date and change facilities around is going to be very costly for the car producers.

I expect the need for more loans by the car companies if they don’t just fold.

It’s definitely going to hit the middle America pocket book in the long run, both from the taxes to fund the loans and from the enforcement of vehicle inspections that I imagine will be required.

Another thought: with great fuel efficiency won’t people drive more? Which will offset the pollution control and probably increase road maintenance?
