"Had Ronald Reagan not rolled back the higher fuel efficiency standards imposed on Detroit, we might need no Middle East oil today" -Tom Friedman, 1/19/07

One question: Are you kidding?This is a ridiculous comment as it is so far from being factual that it just blurs the debate. It makes us "green people" - my house is powered with solar, my car is a hybrid, seem so out of whack with reality that no one will take this debate seriously. Making such claims should not be done by someone interested in moving this debate from the fringe to the real world.
