The Obama administration is forcing the automakers to agree to some drastic changes to the efficiency of the cars they produce. There are several side effects of which you should be aware.
1. The cars of the future will be less safe (relatively speaking). Fuel-efficiency means less weight; less weight means less protection. Less protection means more death. Don't believe me? Look up the stats on any Hybrid.
2. The cars of the future will cost more. Obama's own projections say it will cost $600 more per vehicle. The government never projects costs accurately. If you triple that figure, you might be approaching an accurate number. Let's say $2,000 more per vehicle.
3. You won't be able to purchase certain types of vehicles anymore. So, you are a Christian family who takes your faith seriously? You really want 8 kids . . . oh, you believe Genesis applies to you. Wow. Well, SUVs are not available anymore. I guess you can purchase a hybrid 15-passenger van at the corporate rate. . . maybe. Or your family can buy three hybrid cars and link them together with the groovy new Obama band - keeps you all together for the whole trip. (No, there is not really an Obama band).
4. The news will keep reporting on how fast the world is warming in spite of some compelling evidence to the contrary. (Oh, you didn't know that polar ice cap was melting because of volcanic activity under the ice and ocean water? And, you didn't know the cap was freezing at a faster rate on the other side?) Well, that doesn't support the communist agenda of herding everyone into cities and making them walk or take government-run buses wherever they go.
5. Your current SUV or 15-passenger van is going to be valuable. People with families are going to envy you. You'll have a car with power, comfort, and the ability to haul your family. Pamper that SUV . . . you'll never get one like it again. Welcome to the "change" for which America voted.
