Congress is soon going to vote on the upcoming clean energy bill and there's a chance a couple of critical items may fall through. Two things that really must make it in there is requiring auto makers to average 35 miles per gallon and requiring utility companies to produce 15% of their electricity from renewable sources by the year 2020.
Seriously, the fact that Chevrolet is proud of their new Tahoe with 50% increase in mileage is laughable. The non-hybrid Tahoes get 12 MPG, so a 50% increase is 18 MPG. This is a joke!
European auto makers already average 35 MPG! So, I don't see why doing this by 2020 for US automakers is so difficult. Come on people! It's high time we make our voices heard. Please write to your congressmen and senators as soon as you can. Spend 60 seconds and click onhttp://www.nrdconline.org/campaign/Energy_Bill_Global_Warming3_nsb to do this.
Please write now...
