So, how many more highway deaths will result from higher CAFE standards when the auto manufacturers have to make more light-weight cars? And hwo much will the costs rise due to the federal mandates? And, how will this effect sales? Hmmm.. Seems that if the American public wants higher fuel efficiency cas, the manufaturers have an incentive to make and sell them. Funny, that, since that is precisely what has been happening in the past two years. To maximize efficiency, one doesn't need to turn to government. One needs to do what is ethical: allow individuals to determine what is efficient for each of them, and make exchanges in the market based on these decisions.

Here is the piece!
