Comment | The automotive industry will hem and haw and say that what's required of them is impossible as long as they can get away with it. I am among those who believe that we really only have ten years to start turning the tide of climate change. Dramatic changes well outside our current status quo are going to have to be made. Technology will not be able to solve all of our problems but it will be a huge component. We cannot afford to relax the already minimal demands made of these auto manufacturers - if anything we need to strengthen and enhance the pace and scale of change. An increase in the number of low-emission vehicles and plug-in hybrids available in the market should be part of what is required of the automotive industry but at the same time there is no reason to make things easier for some of the richest companies on earth responsible for selling vehicles such as Hummers. If they can come up with such destructive technology they can certainly come up with more beneficial technologies under duress. |
