Bush Administration to reverse it's position on clean cars

Just kidding. It's April Fools' Day!

The Bush administration hasn't reversed its decision to block cleaner cars. And the Antarctic ice shelf, which recently lost a 160-square-mile chunk of ice, isn't going to put itself back together either.

California is waiting for the Environmental Protection Agency to give us the green light to put cleaner cars on the road, and while we can't change the Bush administration's mind, we can work to make sure the next president reverses the decision on the first day of the next administration.

Tell the current presidential candidates to do just that:

The clean cars program -- which would cut global warming pollution from new cars and trucks by 30 percent -- would go a long way toward fighting global warming and saving what's left of the ice shelf. In fact, California and the 12 other states that have adopted the program so far could cut a total of 400 million tons of global warming pollution between now and 2020. With the Bush administration blocking progress at every turn, we're counting on the next president to remove the EPA's roadblock to cleaner cars.

Over the next few weeks, we'll let you know about our campaign to push past the automakers and the Bush administration to bring cleaner cars in 2009. Please take action today to make sure the next president reverses the Bush administration's decision to block clean car programs:

Zero emissions vehicles, or ZEV's.

It was all talk.

The car culture itself doesn't work, and putting lipstick on the pig won't make the pig anything other than a pig.

I note, with my usual contempt, that anyone who bitches about the Antarctic ice shelf, while talking up "clean cars" and (elsewhere) opposing the world's largest, by far, form of climate change gas free energy is simply mouthing hypocritical words.

So the smart thing for us to do is to use all technologies at our disposal to make them run as clean as possible.
