Obama's "Transportation" Secretary: In an attempt to improve the world's weather, we want you to drive your cars less
Well there it is, for all to read:
If we want to reduce transportation carbon emissions, we need to reduce the amount of driving we do.
In the end, folks, we're not talking about huge sacrifices. The DOT and the strategies outlined above can help smooth the transition to a less-car-dependent mobility.

And, I look forward to working with Congress to achieve these important goals in both the climate change and surface transportation bills.

Who could possibly claim that buying up drivable used cars at prices far in excess of their market value, for the express purpose of destroying them, will be beneficial for the economy or the planet? You guessed it: a combination of economy-saving politicians and earth-saving green activists are peddling the wonders of a new government program popularly known as "Cash for Clunkers."
