“It is called CAFE, but unless this amendment is approved, special interests will enjoy another free lunch as they guzzle down plates piled high to satisfy a very hefty energy appetite. With 200 million tons of global-warming pollution pouring through this unwarranted loophole every year, all the rest of us are left choking on this all-you-can-pollute buffet, and billions of gallons of gasoline are wasted. Manufacturers have had 6 long years of Republican congressional dining at Cafe Delay to prepare for fuel economy. Now their allies combined some new ``do-little'' language with the same old doom-and-gloom scenario they have previously relied upon to oppose everything from seat belts to rollover protection. Reject the excuses and enact genuine fuel economy.”
