CAFE Standards - will anyone listen?

This past weekend, The Detroit News makes a compelling argument regarding CAFE standards. Will anyone listen? CAFE increases mean tens of thousands of American jobs lost and previous CAFE increases did nothing to reduce the total fuel consumption. It's doubtful that their well-reasoned comments will resonate within the government. Even John Dingell - the Michigan Representative who heads the Energy House Committee - has shown a willingness to sell out Michigan and accept CAFE increases if they're part of a "comprehensive" plan. What's frightening for our state's economy, already among the nation's worst, is that while Congressmen of other districts are fighting to prevent regulations being enacted which would cripple their economies, Rep. Dingell seems to have surrendered the fight and is willing to accept job losses.
