Maybe I Should Have Voted for Lieberman

I found and interesting newspaper article online today. It was called Lieberman proposal: Hybrid autos to combat manmade global warming. Basically, the article states that Senator Joseph Lieberman plans to introduce a bill requiring 10% of new cars to be hybrids or alternative fuel vehicles by 2007. Additionally, the bill would require 50 percent of new cars sold in America to be hybrid electric or based on other gasoline-saving technology by 2012.

I was very happy to hear about this bill. It's about time we started to push for more efficient cars to decrease our dependency on fossil fuels. This bill would be similar to raising the mpg standards for vehicles.

One other thing the article mentioned, was that Lieberman and McCain are planning reintroduce their Climate Stewardship and Innovation Act, which would mandate a rollback of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S. to 2000 levels by the end of the decade.

Now, let's hope these bills pass through congress.
