As soon as you implement a strong, fixed target for reducing oil use, stricter fuel standards will inevitably come into play. Incentives alone won't do the trick. |
At a time when Americans are paying record prices for gas, the Bush administration has sided with its cronies in the auto industry and rejected real solutions. |
Ford is a big part of the global warming problem, but they have failed to adopt more than token solutions. |
Ford is at the bottom of the barrel among major auto makers on fuel economy, but today is a better day. Increasing hybrid production is a good step in the right direction. |
Ford's move to increase hybrid production is a step in the right direction, and it places hybrids front and center in the future of the auto industry. I think they've learned their lesson (from broken promises in the past), and we take them at their word. |

He's been both a hope and a disappointment. He's a hope because he keeps saying the right things. He's a disappointment because he hasn't been able to deliver them yet. |
I've lost faith in the process. The inordinate number of mistakes that have occurred in this election should make everyone concerned. |
If the United States had taken a leading role in trying to make this a meaningful agreement ... then I think the whole world would have turned around. Unfortunately, it has been a big disappointment and creates a real threat for our children's future. |
In fact, when you burn coal, you emit more acid rain pollution, more air pollution, more smog and more global warming pollution which threatens the entire planet. |
It boils down to this: They get to make two more gas-guzzlers for every FFV they put out. There's no way Detroit would be producing these cars if they weren't allowed to weaken miles-per-gallon standards in return. |
It has been a failure because the big industrial polluters, led by the United States, have failed to clean up our act. |
It's a bit like telling a three-pack-a-day smoker to give up one cigarette a day. |
It's not every day that the Sierra Club is able to applaud Ford's actions. |
