US President Barack Obama has announced tough targets for new fuel efficient vehicles in order to cut pollution and lower dependence on oil imports.
Describing the move as "historic", Mr Obama said the country's first-ever national standards would reduce vehicle emissions by about a third by 2016.
Mr Obama thinks that vehicle efficiency is a matter of legislation. Not the product of investment and thinking.
This highlights the ridiculous nature of efficiency legislation. Obama is essentially putting a gun to the automobile industry and demanding they invent something. He, clearly, could not design a new engine - yet he feels he should have some control over the process.
Perhaps, for his next trick, he will legislate a new cure for cancer.

An excellent point Tito. It won't be long before people realize that human mind does not work well under enslavement.
