Obama and Higher Fuel Efficiency Standards

Why is 35 mpg a good thing? Seems like the autos need to design, engineer and build cars the public will buy and not by some arbitrary standard established by the all knowing and feeling coming from Washington. What do those clowns know about making a car?

Something seems terribly wrong about pumping billions into the auto companies to keep them alive then jam design mandates down their throats. But we knew this was coming.

The carbon tax silliness... Can someone please explain to me why CO2, an inert gas and essential for the cycle of life, is such a bad thing?

According to James Lovelock the world produces 550 gigatonnes of the stuff of which we're responsible for 30, or 5.5%. Even if its reduced to 0%, an impossibility, what was accomplished? Will the earth cool off? Seems like silly willy math to me.
