		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for your comment, David. I like your point about the US auto industry falling behind on fuel economy advancements due to the artificially cheap gasoline in this country. And I agree that once our country truly embraces sustainability, we will do whatever we can to excel at it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well stated.  In Canada, as well, petrol prices have always been higher and we have an agricultural culture. The falsity of artificially low fuel prices has helped both the auto industry and agricultural equipment industry maintain higher profits while falling ever behind in fuel economy advancements.

Intrinsically, creating equipment that has better fuel economy equates to less pollution even without the focus on reduction of emissions (burn less fuel - create less emissions).

As Americans, we need to pay the true cost of an item.  Not put the cost of for future generations to pay.

Double the price of a tomato and you may increase literacy in the US, reduce emissions, reduce air, land, and water pollution, and so many other intertwined things.

Perhaps an over simplistic view to increase pay to migrant workers and  hold those creating tainted runoff accountable, but as Americans who, in large numbers, think sports players should be idolized as heroes - we need things like this in simple terms that we can acknowledge and then move forward.

When Americans truly embrace a cause, they will move mountains to achieve it.]]></description>
