This is an issue of great importance to everyone, including the group I'm working with, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. <BR/><BR/>The amendment is a bipartisan approach to improve vehicle fuel economy and protect the environment that for the first time ever brings together Democrats and Republicans, labor and management, and foreign and domestic manufacturers. Auto manufacturers are committed to meeting the tough challenges of the amendment.<BR/><BR/>This requires a mandatory 30 percent ramp up of fuel economy standards to at least 36 mpg for cars by 2022 and at least 30 mpg for trucks by 2025. <BR/><BR/>It authorizes increased funding for research, development and demonstration in the areas of advanced batteries, hybrids, plug-in hybrids, clean diesel, diesel hybrids, and flex fuel hybrid technologies, hydrogen storage and fuel cell membranes; as well as cellulosic-based ethanol, and other biofuels, such as biodiesel, to replace conventional diesel fuel.<BR/><BR/>Additionally, the amendment seeks to make alternative fuels more available to consumers by prohibitsinganti-competitive barriers that limit the ability of service station retailers to sell biofuels such as E85.<BR/><BR/>If you want more information on the amendment, you can check out site at <A HREF="http://www.drivecongress.com/" REL="nofollow">www.drivecongress.com</A> <BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12708098.post-66837274151785726972007-06-19T13:45:00.000-04:002007-06-19T13:45:00.000-04:00Keep up the pressure.
