I understand not wanting over regulation, and I agree 100%. But I also think that it is warranted in specific situations. And this would be one I thought everyone could agree is worth protecting. If not for ourselves, our future generations.
I actually do not have much of an issue with enacting uniform emissions standards, if nothing else it won't allow CA or other states to force differing standards which causes certain products to not be available in CA.

The MPG to me is a bunch of hokum and will only cause our own auto dealers to compete where they don't compete well now by federal mandate. However since it appears the guvment will own most of 2 out of 3 automakers, they can finally run it like they want. We'll see.
