It's California now. It'll be you next. This is the first emission law directly aimed at basic CO2 rather than at harmful emissions.

Just some of their suggestions:

• Another 50-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline taxes.

• A two-cent tax on every mile driven for all passenger vehicles.

• Extra fees of $3,500 on minivans, light duty trucks, and sport utility vehicles to discourage consumers from buying them.

• Reducing the speed limit to 55 miles per hour.

I'm sure plenty of people who drive Hondas will think this is all just swell. Just remember, these politicians recognize no limits on their own power to run your life. It's only a matter of time before some important part of your life falls to their axe.
