Hummers and other SUVs are hurting our children

To illustrates how cars should be more efficient and regulations changed and reinforced; the Hummer H2, an expensive car, less safe than standard cars because of high center of gravity weighing 6,400 pounds that puts the Hummer into the category of truck, for which a tax deduction may be taken on its purchase if the vehicle is to be used for business, Hummer owners are able to deduct about $38,000 from their taxes. However, the H2 releases about 40 pounds of smog-causing pollutants for every 15,000 miles driven. 

Polluters should pay for their pollution. The Hummer driver must pay a higher share than the drivers of a fuel efficient cars. About 70% of our oil consumption is used for transportation and need political strong and comprehensive initiatives to be changed. Obama new objectives announced in its States of the Union’s speech, and want to bring reforms. The first step for a strong reduction in carbon emissions is to give incentives for more efficient cars.

The future of America dependent on a clean energy and if we are ready to fight oil consumption, SUVs and Hummers must be out of the market, CAF standards reinforced and hybrid drivers should be rewarded.
