I agree with u2 that California's suit against the auto makers is misdirected as the auto makers are only rising to the minimum requirements of the federal government. This administration continues to subsidize SUV's and large trucks if they merely claim to be biofuel compatible. It would seem unimportant that those fuels can only be found in a small segment of the cornbelt, or that these vehicles are gas hogs.
California would make a more direct hit to the auto makers if they implemented a luxury/penalty tax to those vehicles that are contributing to the oil problem in Cal.
U2 on global warming? Naw, why bother?
