Its ridiculous I know, but that's what it is.

The 20% increase in fuel economy doesnt offset the fact that the materials used in production are among the most hazardous chemicals on the planet. Pair that with the fact that they have no means of disposal and you have an evil "green car" Diesel is the only true "green" way to go.

The cost to business is some where in the neighborhood of $420,000,000. The last 2% of vapor capture will probably bankrupt us, but hey...its for the environment. Green the new Red.

It's great that banning black cars will help the environment, and then you show the "Land Yacht". Ban that. Seriously. it has more wheels on it than most freight trucks, and the engine is likely just as "fuel efficient". I have a Dark Navy car, looks dark purple in bright sunlight. Just a few shades off black. You ban my car and you can bet I'll fight it, unless you buy me the Telsa Model S, or even a Fusion, I hear that gets decent MPG for a gas car. I question the combined brain power of the CA air resources board. I love the caption.

Oh that's right. Those guys always get a free pass. My bad!
