A lot can happen in 13 years. Please don't hold your breath. I hate to sound cynical but considering that the moon landing was accomplished in 9 years with technology from nearly 50 years ago, I think that this is really just a placating gesture.

The president of the US (either party) is merely a figurehead who does what he's told.

Seriously.

What we need is not a fleet of marginally more efficient cars, but a genuine mass transit system, local stores, and a reduction in consumption.


eta: maybe you were being sarcastic, but I can't recall you being anything other than sincere in the past.
