House Republicans Line Up Against Tougher Fuel Standards

House Republicans Line Up Against  Tougher Fuel Standards
More than 60 House Republicans want to bar the Obama administration finalizing new rules to hike fuel efficiency standards for the 2017-25 model years.

In a letter Thursday to House Appropriations Committee chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., 66 House members — including three Democrats — urged the House of Representatives to include a provision in a spending bill that would bar the Environmental Protection Agency and California from moving forward with the new fuel emissions limits.

54.5 MPG is going to be hard to achieve. But feel free to take the opportunity to bash the GOP.

With Michele Bachmann, Koch brothers and Fox news there's always an opportunity to bash the GOP

It's about time someone stood in the way of the completely, unnecessary, arbitrary and destructive 54.6 mpg CAFE proposal. I really don't think anyone truly has any idea what this thing will leave us in the way of vehicles by 2025. It's just more uptopic nuttiness from the liberal loon environmental crowd that will only destroy our way of life.

How about we take the Billions that the GOP gladly hands over to the oil companies and invest in infrastructure, maybe for I dunno, electric cars, maybe we should invest some in solar panels for electricity, something we can produce in AMERICA! we don't even have to spend Billions. Ya sound like a crazy liberal idea right, just like the weekend and minimum wage(these destructive liberal ideas), which absolute destroyed our way of life.

and Im not really for this whole 54 mpg bullshit, but consider where would we be in crash safety, without regulation, would cars be where they are today safety wise. Sometimes the industry needs a push.

Solar panels. Are you kidding me? They cant even stay in bussiness with a half billion dollar boost from tax payers pockets.

so just because one company failed(pretty bad), we should totally scrap the idea and stick to buying oil from Saudi Arabia and support one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Should we also continue to give $4 billion a year oil subsidy because we lost half a billion to a failed company?

The good news is that when the Republicans win the white house and likely the Senate next year, we will completely unwind all this crap anyway. So argue all you want if you like it, its gonna be over.

Republicans dont have a chance the 99% will finally get out in vote next year. They are so fed up with corporate greed and the stupid anti worker BS you conservatives have been running for the last 3 decades.

Republicans and Democrats all get nice checks from certain people and will continue to turn everything so it favors those people. we have much bigger problems than this, but look there talking about standards for 2025, seriously.

Hey uaw-lax. We just got a huge dry injection of socialism. When conservative take it back, expect a huge injection of capitalism like you have never seen before. May I suggest synthetic.

What socialism? Do you even know what socialism is, or do you just know what Fox news tells you. "Obamacare" is not socialism, however universal health care would be a more social policy.

Besides Obama is more Conservative when compared to global politicians, but here in the US he is a socialist. His only progressive in his campaign mode.

If the democrats would give up the crazy environmental BS, they'd win back a lot of people who now lean Republican like myself.

This is why the environmental movement isn't taken seriously. Politicians manipulate useful idiots to run around saying things like "this is a huge threat" when someone dare suggest 35 MPG vs. 38 MPG. Even the extreme language and terms make it plainly obvious you're motiated by FEAR rather than LOGIC.
