You're not understanding the concept here. No one who drives a V8 likes CAFE. I'm proposing removing CAFE in exchange for something else.
I also suggested industry as more polluting than automobiles. I'm not saying in my proposal to do this. I'm just giving an example. The reality is that we have CAFE because environmentalists say cars pollute too much. They're wrong, but alas we have regulations. We can't override these environmentalists because there are too many of them, so let's compromise with them. We change CAFE to something else so that we're happy, and we make the air cleaner through something else which makes them happy.
No matter what I propose, someone will disagree. You're more than welcome not to agree. This proposal does not become law because I get 100k signatures. It just gets a statement from the White House.
