Actually L.A. residents have a below average carbon footprint (for the U.S.)  Not because of discipline but because of geography.  We use very little air conditioning and heating in our homes.

who did what to whom in Congress. The American auto industry has been on the defensive for decades - mostly because of its own congenital stupidity. But with the Lear Jet pan handlers coming to Washington asking for a spare 25 billion, car lots full of SUVs that will never be sold, and foreign car companies still cleaning their clocks - the American auto industry has seen its political, social, and cultural legitimacy collapse. If they survive, they will find themselves operating in a different world than the one they helped create a century ago. That may be better for them and better for us in the long run. Time will tell.

I expect MUCH better days ahead for the environmental movement thanks to Henry Waxman's continuing efforts!
