Clinton Energy Plan Includes Push for Higher Gas Mileage

This article is about Senator Clinton wanting to push for higher gas mileage. This would in turn increase energy efficiency and help the environment. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday released her plan to combat climate change and to increase energy efficiency, which includes raising fuel standards to 55 miles per gallon by 2030 and creating five million jobs through renewable energy advancements. Furthermore, Clinton’s idea would include, “Mrs. Clinton called for reducing carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. She also called for a “cap and trade” auction system in which businesses would buy allowances to pollute, creating incentives to reduce emissions or to limit energy use.” (1).Over all, I like what I am hearing. Even though I am a Republican, Hilary Clinton is doing a good job appealing to a lot of different people. I am a firm believer in protecting the environment, especially from global warming. I think that if we have a President like Clinton who actually cares about the environment, unlike Bush, then we will make more laws helping save the earth. Carbon emissions are polluting our atmosphere and something needs to be done about that, and very soon.
