Summary:
Now people are trying to apply the rules of the 1990 Clean Air Act to carbon dioxide. This is bad because carbon dioxide is such a popular gas it will affect everything. This will put expensive regulations on cars, factories, commercial buildings, and even churches. Over 1 million different entities will be subject to this new rule if it is passed because of the population of carbon dioxide. The Clean Air Act of 1990 was originally only supposed to be for conventional air pollutants and ozone smog. The nation is already in tremendous debt and these pricey regulations would only add to the total nations debt.

"When it comes to energy security and climate change concerns, transportation is the principal culprit. It consumes half the oil used in the world and accounts for almost one-fourth of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions....The path to reducing oil dependence and decarbonizing transportation involves three related initiatives: improving vehicle efficiency, reducing vehicle use, and decarbonizing fuels. Here we focus on decarbonizing fuels, which has the additional benefit of reducing oil use." (Issues in Science and Technology) This article focuses on decarbonizing fuel. Details of how it is one of the essential three steps in reducing oil dependence for transportation are provided.
