Dan Becker Curb Quotations

This proposal gives automakers another excuse to not make the cars that people want - ones that use available technology to save consumers money at the gas pump and cut pollution. Making our cars and trucks go farther on a gallon of gas is the biggest single step we can take to save money at the gas pump, cut oil dependence, and curb global warming.

The biggest single step that the president could take to cut our oil addiction, curb global warming and save consumers money at the gas pump is raising (fuel economy) standards substantially, and that's not what they're doing. They are tinkering around the edges rather than using the most powerful tool they've got.

The president is the one who said we're addicted to oil. This is his most important tool to curb that addiction.
