Take the poll and see the results.

No

Only 18% say yes (w/ another 20% saying "it depends"). Once again, the tyranny of the minority.

More importantly though, will China and India (you know, 1/3 of the world)? I have a hunch I know the answer.

About the answer I'd expect from a business/public policy website.

Not in the manner by which they wish to accomplish said reductions.

Henry Ford II whined that seatbelts, headrests and turn signals would "close down" the auto industry.

In 1971, Lee Iacocca said "And you can see that safety has really killed all of our business.... We're not only frustrated, but, uh, we've reached the despair point....Shoulder harnesses and headrests are a complete waste of money."

In 1972, General Motors executive Ernest S. Starkman testifying against proposed emissions standards said, "It is conceivable that complete stoppage of the entire production could occur, with the obvious tremendous loss to company shareholders, employees, suppliers and communities."

By some miracle, the auto industry survived.

Ahh, the auto industry is all rainbows and unicorns, huh commietommie. Meanwhile in the real world, the US is not the preferred place for the auto industry. I'm sure glad people like commietom allowed them to continue to exist. The evil auto companies.

How much have those improvements added to the cost of a car? Not saying they're unneeded, but they add to the cost of the vehicle, the weight of the vehicle which reduces MPG, and takes away affordability from some people.

Again, I'm not opposed to the reductions, but 'cap and trade' is asinine. Renewable Energy will never make up more than 20% of the nation's energy portfolio. I refuse to pay to assuage the First World guilt some people in this movement are motivated by. Acknowledge these points and I'm all in.

I think that miracle might be called a government bailout.
