Comment Re:The right is the ideologically driven party (Score 1) 1074
Blair is a CENTRIST politician who belongs to a party with a leftist tradition. The far-left is just as ideologically driven as the far-right. Just because Blair practices pragmatism doesn't mean left-wing/socialist ideology has gone away.
Please reread his comment, particularly noting his phrase "at this point". He never said left-wing ideology has 'gone away'.
If you've been paying attention, there are more and more hybrid cars and SUVs hitting the market, some can get up to 60MPH, so what you are saying needs to happen is happening, it just takes time.
Average gas mileage is lower today than is was in the early 1980s. Car makers are absolutely standing in the way of higher fuel efficiency, and they have been lobbying for decades to oppose it.
