Obama's fuel economy rules a job killer, auto dealers say | MNN - Mother Nature Network
Federal 54.5 mpg rules by 2025 would cost automakers $150 billion and cut as many as 200,000 jobs, say 500 disgruntled auto dealers who descended on Washington this week. They're bucking the auto industry itself, which agreed to the Obama plan.

Q. Where does P.O.W.’s $250,000 budget come from?
That money comes from a mix of donations, memberships and fundraisers. We’re a nonprofit, so we try to stretch our money as far as we can, which is why we put a ton of sweat equity into what we do.

Q.  Where does the bulk of your budget go?
Most of our energy goes into various grants and programs that we create. One of the programs we do is the Hot Planet/Cool Athletes program where a pro athlete goes to schools with a climate change expert to talk about global warming. That program was our biggest budget line item last year.
