  Ludicrous

  The auto industry has routinely resisted major change from seat belts to air bags and pollution controls--done largely through their lobby arm, the Alliance of Auto Manufacturers.  The idea that the American auto industry "really does want to be part of the solution" flies in the face of every backward step the industry has taken to block progress from killing the electrical vehicle to waging legislative war against California and multiple other states for attempting to reduce global warming pollution from tailpipes.  Honestly, if the auto industry is just waiting for consumer demand to rise so they can sell their already green cars it's no wonder they're losing market share to Japan.

  Additionally, while opposing views should always be encouraged on a blog forum, inviting a pr flack for the auto lobby to pollute one of the best environmental blogs on the web is poor form.
