For example, current regulations allow gobs of acid rain from the polluters in the Midwest to fall on the NorthEast. That needs to change. Likewise, CAFE standards don't include "trucks", as they were considered "working" vehicles when the original legislation was written. Today, most pickup trucks and SUV's are used as passenger vehicles. They need to be reclassed properly. Pollution control laws need to evolve as pollution increases beyond acceptable levels within our current regulations. Stagnant regulations do not protect the public as new pollution problems are found. Bob
