Yesterday, US federal appeals courts made a move in the right direction by rejecting the Bush administration’s 2008-2011 fuel-economy regulations for model light trucks and SUVs. They criticized the administration's new regulations for vehicle gas emissions by claiming that the regulations failed to take into acccount the economic impact of gas emissions' dangerous impact on climate change. The judges rejected the proposal demanding that the Transportation Department go back and add tougher standards for vehicle gas emissions.
Nothing like a little federal smack down in the name of climate change. I like it.

I hope there are not too many loopholes in this thing - I think we have to look into this further.
