European carmakers "firmly" opposed to CO2 emissions law
According to the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers (ACEA), consumers are at fault for automakers failing to meet CO2 emission reductions.
"This is due to a strong customer demand for larger and safer vehicles and disappointing consumer acceptance of extremely fuel-efficient cars."
Great. Now Europeans want to act as foolishly as Americans?
Still, perhaps consumers do want these larger vehicles. Fine, then make them hybrid vehicles, or clean diesel hybrid vehicles, and let consumers cover the costs of meeting CO2 emissions by paying for these technologies. Or, they can simply buy a smaller vehicle.
When you make it easy for consumers to make poor choices, they will. Make them responsible for their poor decisions and they'll make better choices in the future.
