Current Event 1

Obama recently proposed new gas emission requirements/goals for his presidency. By 2020 he wishes to reduce our carbon emissions by 50%, and creating stricter MPG for cars. 35 miles to the gallon will be the average within 10 years, even for trucks and SUV's. These emission requirements will force car manufacturers to make the average MPG of their vehicles at least 35 miles per gallon or face fines and penatlies(steep ones too). Obama is already starting on this plan and it will continue to develope throughout the course of his presidency.
