saving through conservation can be continued forever. Four years ago,
GWB
decided not to increase the scheduled CAFE increase for automobiles. So
now, four years later, we have 50,000,000 cars which are getting about
10%
worse fuel economy than they would have if the increase was implemented.


My concern with legislated efficiency/consumption whether Kyoto or CAFE is
that while I suspect Teresa Heinz and Laurie David will always find enough
Benjamins in the couch cushions to gas up their Gulfstreams, I strongly
suspect that mere mortals like us will be unable to afford to fly anything
over 100HP, assuming of course they allow us to fly at all. Look at
Europe-
I don't want that to be the future of GA.

Nobody does, what is your proposed solution?.
