In a nation where asthma afflicts 1 out of every 10 schoolchildren, wouldn’t we all breathe a little easier if annual carbon pollution was cut by an amount equal to 70 coal plants? That is precisely what the new clean car standards proposed by Obama’s administration aim to do by 2030. In addition to bringing thousands of new jobs to Michigan, these new standards would end up saving the average Michigan household $240 on gas bills every year. That’s $976 million annual savings across the state!
