An article in the Oakland Press on March 9 launches Joe's campaign against raising corporate CAFE standards. Apparently Joe, like his conservative friends that like to ignore science, think that backward thinking can help the auto industry. Had the Big 3 kept pace with the foreign manufacturers, they wouldn't be in the state they're in. Joe thinks that selling gas hog trucks and SUV's can help our economy. While that may be true in the short run, a real leader thinks long term and Joe is no leader.
According to the Union for Concerned Scientists, the United States could create 200,000 jobs by adopting higher CAFE standards, not to mention helping to save the planet for our grandchildren. Read the full report here.
