“1. The New Standards
* The Obama Plan will be a single new national standard for all cars and light trucks. [NY Times]
* The standard will be almost 40% cleaner/ more fuel-efficient by 2016 than it is today.
* Cars will be required to get an average 35.5 miles per gallon (similar to the goal of the California plan); the current standard is 25 miles per gallon.”
