10 States sue Bush.

All of the left-wing states that always want to dictate policy for the country, huh. What a surprise!

If people keep electing these fools, that's what we'll keep getting. Wouldn't you think the people would see through this and get rid of this batch of politicians in these states?

 

I might be wrong on this, but I thought the 9th Circuit Court judges were appointed, not elected.

 

So you guys are in favor of more pollution and worse mileage?

 

Energy policy is a matter of national security. It isn't just the government sticking its nose into your life.

 

I think it's amazing there was never a gas shortage when we all owned muscle cars back in the good old days and gas was cheap. The Alaskan pipeline started the downhill spiral because politicians and big oil suckered us into believing the cost of construction to American taxpayers would ultimately end in our benefit. NOT!

 

This is the thanks we get for making China rich:

God bless you Al Gore for caring!

Sorry, I don't quite follow - how would requiring better mileage and fewer, safer emissions be interfering in your life?

That's the logical inference if you're opposed to lower standards for light-weight trucks, but I'm asking you because it seems an odd desire.

Which experts (source, please) and how did they come up with that particular figure? But even that would be better than continuing to raise the temperature.

 

Here's something for you, Bro Curtis:

"Friends of Science", eh? I love the way these (usually right-wing) groups and programs are named to mislead.

 

Just as government regulation is in large part responsible for any gasoline shortages we are currently having, this frivolous lawsuit, if won, would undoubtedly increase the price of autos, trucks, and SUVs across the board.

John Kerrys'wife probably won't care.

 

Is there an actual shortage of gasoline? How are government regulation responsible for it?

It's not frivolous.

Why would it affect the price of cars? I believe the suit only applies to light trucks and SUVs. Even if it were to increase the price, which is no sure thing, that might be offset by the savings in gasoline for the owners and health costs for everyone else.

And do you think Bush's & Cheney's wives will be pulling their hair out with worry?

 

I think you have a very handsome, well-shaped head.

Better in what way? Housing has local, state and federal regulations which aren't uniform. For instance, California may have additional earthquake and/or fire codes to meet, while New York City forbids kerosene heaters and coal & PVC plumbing in multifamily residences. Some communities forbid McMansions (sq footage/lot size restrictions), others have strict standards on size and 'look'. Most states encourage minimum insulation, 'R' values for windows and enery-efficient appliances.

The SUV-truck regulations will be the same throughout the country. You'll really have to be more specific on what you're comparing and how you define "better".

Because that's a red herring. No one is trying to limit the number of SUVs & trucks you can have.

Do you want to use more? Since I have to pay for the fuel I use, I prefer to use less.

We don't admit it because it isn't true. SUV=suburban soccer mom, pick-up trucks=redneck (or used to - nowadays yuppies like pick-up trucks, too).

Better fuel economy is prejudiced against the working class? I don't get your logic - as fuel prices increase, a more significant portion of their income goes for fuel. The richer you are, the lower the percent of your disposable income goes for fuel. Fuel economy is good for everyone, but best for those who pay for their own.

Better emissions control is good for everyone. Have you noticed that it takes roadside snow a long time to turn black? It used to be mere days.
