Burn Baby, Burn!

That gasoline. Precious precious gasoline.

The Alliance of Automoblie Manufacturers, a trade association of 9 car and light truck manufacturers including bmw group, daimler chrysler, ford motor company, general motors, mazda, mitsubishi motors, porsche, toyota and volkswagen, says:

Alliance members are developing and introducing vehicles that run on alternative fuels, as well as hybrid-electric cars, SUVs and pickups that can significantly improve city fuel economy. Automakers are also working on the next generation of lean burn technology, and have committed billions of dollars to bring zero-emission fuel cell vehicles to market as soon as possible.

So they would seem okay with California's new law which would go into effect by 2009 which "The California Air Resources Board estimates they would cut exhaust emissions in cars and light trucks by 25 percent and in larger trucks and SUVs by 18 percent. (From the AP)

But no.

From the AP article: Automobile manufacturers sued Tuesday to block the world's toughest vehicle emissions standards, adopted by California regulators in September to cut greenhouse gases.

So I guess that the Automobile manufacturers aren't so keen in producing lower emissions cars after all. They're just all talk and no show. All more like all profit and little environmental concern.
