European fuel efficiency is much higher than American. So it worked.

I don't know that.

>To produce more efficient uses of energy ??

Yes, more efficient cars.

Circular logic. Yes, blame everyone else, but not yourself. How typical.

Efficient Jurgis

Europe, at least "Old Europe" is a beacon to the world. It takes care of its people.

Dramatically, America grinds up its people for the sake of commerce.

Who is right?

A continent that protects its own? Or a nation that is bankrupting itself for the sake of a criminal elite.

We propagandize, you decide.
