Motors joined in May. The organization calls for economy-wide cuts in greenhouse gases through short- and mid-term reduction targets. It also calls for an accelerated national program in technology research. The Big Three hope that this approach will waylay efforts by Congress to show the public dramatic efforts to cut greenhouse gasses—efforts that will fall hard on automakers. It’s somewhat of a notable shift. The auto industry is not fighting the emissions legislation. Instead, it is fighting for legislation it can live with.
