California's Emissons Rules Become National Standard

With the climate change that is happening to the world. It is about time that the new administration will do something about it. The CAFE standards have gotten themselves an update. The CAFE standards, or Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards, have been overhauled by President Obama, to drastically cut auto emissions around the U.S.A. The automobile industry might be doing less check cashing from sales of gas guzzlers, though – the new standard is for all cars (just cars, not trucks) to achieve an average of 35.5 mpg by 2016. It is currently at 27.5 mpg. That level of efficiency has already been mandated by the state of California, and the aim is to severely reduce emission of greenhouse gases. Critics point out that higher CAFE standards might save a payday cash loan at the pump, but smaller cars compromise crash safety.

If California can do it, there's no excuse for the rest of America not to follow. http://community.elgg.org/pg/profile/johnmorgan

I'm not sure California is much of an example for the rest of the US to be following at the moment. Billions of dollars in debt and increasing taxes.
