Will the Senate and the President have the guts to give the future generations a chance to breath instead of sucumbing to immediate greed.

Is is an ominous foreshadow that CAFE will be regulated by a safety agency (NHTSA), while the EPA responsible for protecting the environment is reduced to "providing input". From what I've heard in the past, the NHTSA is pretty much run by the auto industry anyway.

Efficiency in vehicles will follow the money.

Does anyone know what testing methodology will be used to determine CAFE under the new legislation (provided, of course, that the bill makes it to law)? Will it be the original 1975 method or the new 5-cycle method?

The ability to transfer credits from one fleet to the other gives automakers greater flexibility than they have under the old CAFE system.

!!!They literally drove a truck through the last legislation how much more lee way do they want!!

That is way too late. We’ve already got cars that get better than that. I’m glad to see what this is doing for flex fuel vehicles. But the rest is worthless.
I’d like to see flex fuel capability a requirement for anything that gets less than 25mpg.

It actually made it the senate with the 15% mandate for power companies in tact. The senate believe they can work out some kinks to get it passed next week according to CNN. But it is looking like it will be vetoed by the evil Bush admin. Guess we’ll have to wait for the next president. At least there is some progress.
