Auto makers can run but they can't hide from EPA

The emissions noose around the auto industry is getting tighter, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that says the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has the authority to limit carbon dioxide emissions, according to thecarconnection.com which cited the Washington Post.
The industry's longtime political protector, Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., has warned automakers there is probably no chance of preventing Congress and the Bush administration from raising fuel economy standards.

Hi Peter,

I think it is time that EPA standards start to get tighter and enforced. You can have efficient cars that look good and get great gas mileage.
