clean cars, dirty politics

After Democratic nominee John Kerry's allusion to a clean car program in his acceptance speech last night, the question becomes how long before the Bush campaign begins inundating the Michigan airwaves with ads featuring misleading, alarming statistics about the millions of jobs the program will cost?

Let's hope Michiganians, and Americans, are wise enough to realize that a) the details of the program haven't been announced, so how can we tell? b) the current and previous President both announced clean car initiatives that cost no jobs -- and accomplished almost nothing for the environment c) if we're going to survive on this planet, and if Michigan is going to survive, we need to figure out ways to develop cars of the future that are clean.
