Now Vermont wants a piece of the CO2 notoriety.
I believe that states should have the right to make their own stupid decisions and live with them until their residents realize the unintended consequences.
In the case of limiting CO2 output from vehicles, the choices are hybrid gas/electric, diesel, or... or... well hybrid gas/electric or new generation diesels such as the one Toyota introduced in Britain. Of course, the latter may not be available in the U.S. because of the different regulations regarding overall emissions in the U.S. versus Europe.
So, one can envision Vermont citizens driving around in their subcompact cars and driving their full-sized pickups loaded with maple syrup "powered" by 4-cylinder engines up the local mountains. No, I can't quite envision that.
Careful what you ask for Vermont.
