Brave New World Dept:
Energy Crisis Solved
Automakers will have to go (relatively) green.
In light of the fact that the planet is melting, Congress today has seemingly reached an agreement to raise fuel economy standards to 35 miles per gallon by 2020, a bold display of visionary leadership that took only six months to achieve.
In 2020, we can’t help but think that that gas will cost something like $25 per gallon - a result of the inflation caused by sound economic policy and the fact that oil is only secured through constant, unending war - but hey, your Hummer will get the same mileage as a Civic. Unless Bush vetoes it.
Thanks, Congress! You’re doing a hell of a job.
