General Motors Exploits Bush Administration Dual-Fuel Loophole

Laptop Battery Today, General Motors (GM) announced that it is taking advantage of the Bush administration's recent extension of a loophole that gives automakers fuel economy credits for manufacturing dual-fuel vehicles. GM is planning to expand its production of these vehicles that are capable of running on both gasoline and ethanol. However, according to the Bush administration's own March 2002 study, over 99% of the 'dual-fuel' vehicles ran exclusively on gasoline. This means that the loophole may actually result in an additional 9-14 billion gallons of gasoline consumed between 2001 and 2008.

Thinkpad GM is touting its production plans as a way to "remove the automobile from the environmental debate." Promoted as an incentive "to spur the continued development and use of alternate-fuel-powered vehicles," by the Bush administration, this loophole will actually result in an additional 9-14 billion gallons of gasoline consumed between 2001 and 2008, but only a negligible increase in the use of alternative fuels, like ethanol.

Microsoft Automakers use the dual-fuel loophole to evade federal fuel economy standards by getting extra credits towards meeting federal fuel economy standards. By extending this loophole, the Bush administration is allowing automakers to build more gas-guzzlers, increasing America's oil dependence and putting more heat-trapping global warming pollution into the atmosphere.

President George W. Bush's administration may face calls from the Democratic Party, which won control of both houses of the U.S. Congress in November, to stem the yen's decline to protect jobs. General Motors Corp. Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner said a "systematically undervalued'' yen helps Japan's trade surplus by making its products cheaper overseas.

Laptop Computers There is a better way. Instead of letting automakers off the hook, the Bush administration should require them to use existing fuel saving technology to make all vehicles go farther on a gallon of gas. If all vehicles averaged 40 miles per gallon, the United Stated would save more oil than we import from the Persian Gulf, while curbing global warming and air pollution.

"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
