snip Researchers from Stanford University and the University of California-Davis published their analysis in the journal Energy Policy. Measuring costs vs benefits The main challenges, say the authors, will be summoning the global will to make the conversion. "There are no technological or economic barriers to converting the entire world to clean, renewable energy sources," said author Mark Jacobson, a Stanford professor, saying it is only a question of "whether we have the societal and political will."

In 2001 the newly elected Bush administration sought to nullify California's CAFE standards (so much for Republican support for state's rights) which were nothing more than on target for complying with Bush the elder's legislation. While Detroit was whining "its too hard, we can't" Japan was doing it. We all know what happened after that - Japan ate our lunch, again, and Detroit ended up on life support. Pixie dust to some, a challenge to be met for others.
That doesn't make sense... because......the CAFE standards are "HIGHER" in California (you live there.. right) than in any other part of the country. So if Detroit was whining "Its too hard, we can't" then Detroit slit its own throat.. (or should I say the unions slit their own throat)...... not Bush.... When you're paying somebody close to 6 figures a year to put screws in a dashboard then you are slitting your own throat!!!!!
Some counties in California have no annual emissions testing requirement.
So what has that got to do with gas mileage standards??
I guess you were already aware of this. Emission systems have a lot to do with gas mileage, just ask any automotive engineer.
We were talking about CAFE standards which are "mileage" standards..... Now emissions is another subject altogether..... If emissions has such a profound effect on mileage then "WHY" can you have high mileage vehicles that still release lots of emissions and it can pass an "Emissions Inspection"..... even in California...... I posted an article about this very subject the other night......

He's right, we have no technological or economic barriers to blocking our friends from Planet X-49 from coming down and presenting us with magical interstellar pixie dust power.
