Election Year Promises Will Meet Automakers' Harsh Reality

According to the article ” CSM Worldwide: Election Year Promises Will Meet Automakers' Harsh Reality”, at present, both of two president candidates want to provide finance to vehicle producers and look for new energy for environment protection. However, they use the different way to solve this kind of problems. In Obama’s plan, he tries to make an improvement of energy and allocate funds for the development of new energy and new vehicles, because Obama wants to though this improvement, change the currently energy problem. Battery will instead of fuel can be come true under this change, in order to save oil and protect the global environment. Now, some car producers have already response Obama’s call, and Obama use both 'carrot and stick' to improve it as soon as possible. In addition, from McCain’s plain, he wants to force cars producers and increase fines, in order to make them follow the limit of cars’ displacement, especially some big car producers. Also, McCain provide a big prize to encourage following this limit. He thought that should be a good way to solve the problem, instead of providing loan for producers to develop new kinds of vehicles.
Since America president Obama claimed auto emissions, more and more people and countries keep their eyes on this issue. America is considered to be one of the strongest nations in the world. As a more developed country, if US become the leader of this behavior, it must have good influence on other countries. At first, many Americans agreed with Obama, but Obama decided to put huge amount money to make the policy work. This caused people objected his decision and just went the opposite way. They thought the government can do this by law or make a strick publishment, not costing so much money. In my opinion, I still think that this we can get more benefits than disadvantages of this policy.
Firstly, this kind of investment cannot just be measured by money. If people want to make the policy affective, it must cost money. No matter how much it cost, I think it is worthy. It is said that the global warming is becoming worse and worse, it will cost not only money if we still don't do anything for the environment.
Secondly, it can protect the environment. Air pollution is closely related to our daily life. Some countries that don't pay any attention to the environment have suffered from nature disasters every year. In some cases, auto emissions can protect the environment.
In addition, it contributes to the constant renewal of automobile technology. According to media sources, the plan by the United States welcomed the automotive industry. It allows car manufacturers no longer in production because of different state standards and at a loss, and leave the car manufacturers is relatively ample time to adapt to the new standards. However, this plan will make U.S. consumers purchase new cars each cost an average of 1300 U.S. dollars
In conclusion, the restrictions on vehicle exhaust emissions to ensure clean air, reducing the funds to deal with gas, but also improve the way of creating new cars.I want to stand up for supporting is policy.

Obama’s auto emission

            According to J            ohn Ibbitson in his article” Obama’s swift action on emissions shows he will be green-at any cost”, the president Obama promulgated a ordinance about limit car's displacement in order to save energy and protect environment. The governor of California felt happy and totally agreed with this ordinance. However, the governor of Michigan who is a Democrat thought this decision could affect the cars' imports and exports. Now, the problems about energy and environment and how to solve them have already been put in Obama's domestic agenda. He asked the department of transportation to decline the exhaust. This order was refused when Bush was president. Now, the governor of California is so happy that this order has been thought when Obama to be the president. There is really a historic significance for American; thereby they could get a better environment without the affection of fuel. However this new revolution will need a long time to be came true and it still a huge challenge to American's car producers. In addition, American also signed agreement of reduces emissions with other countries, states and provinces, which are in the north of American. However it will be opposed to the interests of coal and oil in some of these states. The ex-president did a little about how to make a clear environment (John, Jan 27).

In my opinion, I totally agree with president Obama’s idea. Although I am not an American citizen, take part in protecting our environment and save energy is still a goal for me. At present, more and more luxury cars produced, in order to satisfy people’s personal peacock. However, it must affect many vehicles’ producers’ benefits, and they do not want to change any more. As this result, Obama’s decision, which limits high displacement cars’ production, plays an important and necessary role in current serious situation. I think reduce the use of high displacement is one of the best way to save energy, protect environment and improve the technology of making cars.

            First of all, it can save resource. The price of gas is keep rising because there are less and less gas and fuel in the world. In my opinion, the most important reason is there are two many car. In US, almost everyone owns his private car and each family at least own two car. Americans used to using cars instead of walking. The auto emissions can just set up limitation of using too much cars, it also can be a way to save energy.

             Secondly, auto emission can help us to protect the environment. Car can pull out many dirty gases into the air, and finally causes the air pollution. If the auto emission works, people will take public transportation to work or get on one car to drive. This can reduce the bad gas and make the air cleaner and fresh.

            In addition, if the car producers want to keep their profit by this policy, they have to create new kinds of car machine to make sure the pollution can be reduced. They will think about more advanced technology to produce cars. So the auto emission can inspire the new way of creating cars.

            In conclusion, as I mentioned before, Obama’s auto emission is not only save energy but also good for the environment and the industry of making cars. This policy may help US developing healthier, so I want to stand up for supporting it.
