4. Exactly. And they have regulations requiring fuel efficiency

Or even requiring full electric vehicles. Whereas the Korrupt Korpulent Koprolite and his administration are pushing full-sized, fuel guzzling vehicles on us. Things like 4X4 PNS X-10-DRs and V-8 powered Dodge Compensators. Exactly the opposite of what we need to push environmentally. It might even drive a resurgence of dense urban areas with mass-transit and an exodus from suburbs and low population areas where cars are a must-have.

His efforts to maximize oil company profits will just kill the American car industry. If fuel prices stay high, those gas guzzlers will be dumped and people will resume buying new or used EVs, hybrids, and small cars that are no longer offered by our big three.
