Obama's going to make us put our catalytic converters back in...

[A//// Guy]

Global warming is not the issue of the day. Who cares about the Cat, there are ways around everything, Such as putting a heat shield around the test pipe. And paying someone off to smog your car. Get over it people.


Steve was being sarcastic saying this is not what obama should not be focusing on...

You do know its not about visual inspections.. they actually take measurements of your exhaust output. They used to do it here in MN, but got rid of it.

I still think its funny that cows put out more pollution than vehicles do.

Concrete during the curing stage is the #1 contributor to carbon emissions.

Maybe we should all go back to mud huts?

Lets just go back to domestic cars that get 10 mpg. I have had my eye on a near mint 1979 Lincoln Mark V that can get upwards of 7 mpg on the freeway. If they still made cars like that, I am sure the domestic automakers would be doing much better nowdays.

And people wonder why I don't eat meat :) Pull that industry back a little and we'd all be in much better shape!

yes i know. but the visual inspections are done by the police. dont forget i am living in CA, where modified cars get pulled over and get their car inspected for CARB stickers.

yes there are things that produce more carbon emmissions then cars. But cars are something that we can actually fix to produce less. Perhaps there is a different curing process for concrete they could look at. For the cows it could be something in their food. There are a lot of ways we can reduce the amount of Carbon emmissions. We just have to figure out how to do it, Catalytic converters are just an easy first baby step.
I totally agree it hurts performance of our cars, but if you have ever flown into california in the daylight you will understand how much smog we actually have. It almost made me sick when we were getting ready to land and you look out and see LITERALLY a layer of brown air. It looked like seperated liquids. NASTY. And this is the air we breathe on a daily basis. I would hate it if i flew into MN and it was the same way.

And those of you that were around back then remember what a debacle it was. The program cost the state hundreds of millions and did absolutely nothing. Kinda like our welfare and healthcare systems.

Instead of wasting time on this needless BS, he should be actually trying to do something for the country, instead of the dem party and the sierra club. Change my ass.

Isn't your state the worst in the nation of out of control spending and deficit? Looks like all those programs are working great, but that's alright, Obama will pay all your bills for you. I'm embarrassed to call your governor a Republican when he's obviously moderate democrat. No wonder the GOP can't get anything done anymore.

Obama is an idiot and is already making changes that will hurt this country. Allowing CA (and other states) to run rampant with emissions regulations will just drive up the cost to produce cars; great thing to do when we're currently giving them money so they can get their businesses back in order. I also love how he wants to give stimulus money to non-taxpayers!
Agree, this is going to be a long tough 4 years.

Hes not even been in office for a month and you guys are coming out with statements like this? Wow, you guys are some pessemists.
First off, He started the closing of GitMo and other CIA secret camps. Which was applauded by almost every nation.
He is working toward helping us get out of this mess that was caused by a retarded administration over the past 8 years. Now we can actually start passing items that will benefit our country. The mess we are in was not caused by him, he actually inherited this mess from YES A REPUBLICAN! As opposed to Bush who claims to have inherited 9/11, the first AND second Recession, and every horrible thing that happened while he was in office. Whats next, is he going to say he inherited Katrina? Because obviously the federal responce was great during that tradgedy. Maybe he was too busy celebrating McCains Bday, or the death of many black people. GG NOOB.
