[DeTomaso] Dianne Feinstein responding to Rod Kunishige's message

[tony DiGiovanna]

Dianne left out the important part, "this is just one step in my
never-ending plan to legislate out any remaining pleasure or independance in
your pathetic life so you won't need any of that disposable income and we
can take it and redestribute it to someone who we think needs it more than
you, like a government program admistration team.   Oh yeah, I mean clean
the air."

Dear Mr. Kunishige:
 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the "Cash for Clunkers" national
incentive program. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the
opportunity to respond.
 
As you may already know, on January 14, 2009, I introduced the "Accelerated
Retirement of Inefficient Vehicles Act" (S. 247), with Senators Susan
Collins
(R-ME), and Charles Schumer (D-NY), to enable and encourage drivers to trade
in their older, less fuel efficient car, truck or SUV voluntarily for a more
fuel efficient vehicle. If enacted, this legislation would establish a
national
voucher program for voluntary retirement of fuel-inefficient vehicles.
 
Specifically, the so-called "Cash for Clunkers" program would reimburse
drivers with a credit of $2,500 to $4,500 for turning in fuel-inefficient
vehicles
to be scrapped, and purchasing fuel efficient vehicles. The traded-in
vehicles must have a fuel economy of no more than 18 miles per gallon, be in
drivable
condition, and have been registered for at least the past 120 days.
Automobile recyclers would also be able to sell all the parts from scrapped
vehicles,
except the engine and drivetran.
 
The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy has estimated that this
program would save between 40,000 to 80,000 barrels per day of motor fuel by
the end of the fourth year, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions between 6.6
million metric tons to 13.3 million metric tons, or the equivalent of
removing
1.1 million to 2.2 million vehicles from the road in one year. Additionally,
the Council estimates that this program would reduce nitrogen oxides, which
cause ground-level ozone - a leading cause of respiratory health problems,
like
asthma.
 
Again, thank you for your thoughts on the bill. While this may be an issue
on which we disagree, it is important for me to hear the views of
Californians
throughout the legislative process. If you have any further questions or
concerns, I hope you will not hesitate to contact my Washington, D.C. office
at
(202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
        United States Senator
