Forget the escalade, how about joe sixpack pickup truck. Consumer no way in hell can afford draconian solution you propose. I think a summer respite is a good thing to spur the economy. Now if you told me you were going to set auto standards for 10 years out and gave folks advanced warning then i might be interested. But to blindside folks who own a car for lets 10 years or plan on selling it and buying new thats just not fair. By the way i listen to all the energy and global warming stuff and just have not seen a good way to transfer into public policy by either govt or private sector. Right now price of gas is $3,50. A few years ago if we allowed drilling in anwar or offshore, built a couple of domestic refineres, started the switch to more econmic vehicles and renewable energy or just other type of energy we would not be suffering in this manner today.
