Exclamation Help change America's Policy on Diesel

I got an email a few days ago inviting people to share their ideas with the Obama administration and the top rated ones would be given to the President after he is sworn in.

I did a search and found one of the ideas being discussed was "Diesel Vehicles Could Be the Conservation Answer". They are discussing the problems with diesel pricing and availability and how it needs to be changed so that we can get high mileage diesel on the road in the US like they are in Europe.

Here is the link if you would like to go register and vote on this issue so that it gets presented to the President:

It is the future and answer to conservation though the Hollywood types want you to think otherwise. Do you really want to drive a battery car instead of proven diesel power with a century or so of history?

All I would want is for the government restrictions to be lowered and fuel not to be subsidized.

Allow the market to decide, not the government.
