Should the government impose stricter fuel efficiency standards on vehicles?

Fuel efficiency standards set the required average fuel economy for vehicles, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Proponents argue that it helps reduce emissions, save consumers money on fuel, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Opponents argue that it raises production costs, leading to higher vehicle prices, and may not have a significant impact on overall emissions.

No

Yes, as long as production costs are subsidised, and as long as it has a significant impact on overall emissions.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you believe people are more influenced by fuel costs or environmental impact when choosing a car, and what about you?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Can stricter fuel efficiency rules really make a difference in fighting climate change, or are there bigger issues at play?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How might higher vehicle prices from fuel efficiency regulations impact families with lower incomes?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How do you think your daily life would change if all vehicles became more fuel-efficient tomorrow?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you trust car manufacturers to innovate and improve efficiency on their own, or does the government need to push them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Should consumers be more concerned about the environmental impact of their car purchases or the financial impact?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

In your opinion, is it fair to require older, less fuel-efficient cars to be phased out if it helps the environment?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Do you think the push for higher fuel efficiency is helping or hurting the shift towards electric vehicles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

Is personal responsibility or government regulation more effective in reducing overall fuel consumption?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

How would you feel about paying more upfront for a car if it saved you fuel money in the long run?

Mexican Shuts Down 2 Migrant Caravans After Trump Threat

Mexican immigration authorities have broken up two small migrant caravans headed to the U.S. border, activists said Saturday.Some migrants were bused to cities in southern Mexico, and others were offered transit papers.The action comes a week after U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to slap 25% tariffs on Mexican products unless the country does more to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S. border.On Wednesday, Trump wrote that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum had agreed to stop unauthorized migration across the border into the United States. Sheinbaum wrote on her social media accounts the same day that “migrants and caravans are taken care of before they reach the border.”Migrant rights activist Luis García Villagrán said the breaking-up of the two caravans appeared to be part of “an agreement between the president of Mexico and the president of the United States.”The first of the caravans started out from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, on Nov. 5, the day Trump was elected. At its height it had about 2,500 people. In almost four weeks of walking, it had gone about 270 miles (430 kilometers) to Tehuantepec in the state of Oaxaca.In Tehuantepec, Mexican immigration officials offered the tired migrants free bus rides to other cities in southern or central Mexico.“They took some of us to Acapulco, others to Morelia, and others from our group to Oaxaca city,” said Bárbara Rodríguez, an opposition supporter who left her native Venezuela after that country's contested presidential elections earlier this year.Rodríguez said by telephone she later caught a bus on her own to Mexico City.In a statement Saturday, the National Immigration Institute said the migrants voluntary accepted bus rides “to various areas where there is medical assistance and where their migratory status will be reviewed,” and said “upon accepting (the rides), they said they no longer wanted to face the risks along their way.”
