This is great and it will have a huge and long term positive impact for the environment and the economy. This almost sounds like the second ARRA coming. And it will make our automobile industry the world leaders in design and innovation again. This is a critical step forward to improved hybird electric cars which is an important intermediate step on the road to common use hydrogen powered vehicles. I hope that the results here will have spill over impacts on drayage trucks, construction equipment, busses, and locomotives. Thank you and best wishes, Michael E. Bailey.

It is good to see the Government in the USA showing the way. Change has got to come.

Hopefully the giant strides that need to take place to shift the use of oil in cars will come as a result of this action.

I am most interested in seeing how the electric vehicles get introduced as a mainstream option for consumers.

Congratulations to DOT and EPA for this fantastic progress.
I have one small request - can you please urge car/SUV/truck manufacturers to stop placing their vehicles with single tail pipes on the right side? This would prevent pedestrians stanidng on the curb and sidewalk from getting tailpipe emissions in their faces, as well as drivers of other vehicles getting the emissions in their faces when the tail pipes are on a car in a lane on their left.

I support the advocacy! Let us keep our environment clean and green.

This is wonderful news! This needs to be a priority as we move into the future. How else are we going to become energy independent.

I do not think that this would be possible to see any negative comments here for this article – go green cars! There are too many pro's and no cons here. All of us would like to live in healthier environment.

This is a critical step forward to improved hybird electric cars which is an important intermediate step on the road to common use hydrogen powered vehicles. That's true!
