[Video] CAFE bill likely to pass
Even though the white house has threatened to veto it one of the more reserved members of Congree has decided to get behind the bill, which is a good thing.
If the bush vetoes this I'm sure he'll catch a lot of flac over it, so I don't think it'll happen, but we'll see. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/UcWY2eVqC8A[/youtube] |
I'm not a student of US politics, but even I'm aware of who Dingell is, and correct me if I'm wrong, but he's been a pretty staunch opponent to significant increases in CAFE standards.
If that's the case, what happened? Did people meet somewhere in the middle, or were things watered down? |
I think he just gave up on it, because there is pretty heavy support for it. There are a few compromises, but I don't think any of them significantly weaken the nature of the bill.

Well, it passed the house, but now it's stuck in the senate, so we'll see.

Hello -
Well, harumph. I haven't kept close watch, but I don't "see the votes" to make this happen. If it does happen, it would be a big change when compared from 1990 to the present : American Automobile Fuel Consumption Debate: Chart of the Month: May 2005 http://ecomodder.com/forum/member-cf...-1978-2007.jpg CarloSW2 |
Well, it finally happened, in a rather watered down form, but here's the latest NYT on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/13/wa...RFOebJI0gfy2Kg
