New M.P.G stickers for all cars
The Obama administration has recently proposed two alternatives to stickers on new vehicles. They both will be focusing on the fuel economy, greenhouse gases, and smog-forming pollutants. One will have a letter grading system of A+ to D- and the other will just have information on fuel economy and emissions.
This is a fantastic idea and huge step forward in the fight for consumer knowledge about environmental issues. Of course, most people know that electric and hybrid cars will be getting the highest grades, and that probably won't make the population have any real desire for the ars, but it's a step in the right direction. If all goes well, the Obama administration will definitely start gaining respect in the "Go Green" world of scientists and activists. Also, they will be accepting public comments 60 days before deciding which sticker to choose, so if you have an opinion you should definitely look more into this.
