John Kerry Says Proposed Fuel Economy Standards Don’t Address Problems with Foreign Oil, High Gas Prices


Senator John Kerry today issued the following statement on the new Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.

“This is a pessimistic decision. It says that America won’t innovative, won’t lead and won’t create a better future through better technology like we know we can. It is backward looking, and it will bring us more dependence on unreliable foreign oil, more pollution and higher gasoline costs for American families. It protects the status quo and is another lost opportunity to help our security, economy and environment.”
