Now that US President Obama has finally managed to up the ante on gas mileage standards in the US and address greenhouse gas emissions, why is the auto industry acting like this is a big surprise? Obama issued two memoranda on January 26th to address mileage standards and greenhouse gas emissions. He is pushing for standards to take effect two years down the road (2011 model-year). On greenhouse gas emissions, he wants states to be able to set their own emissions standards, doing this by granting a waiver to California to set its own standards.
