        .@EPA @ENERGY The small jump in mpg b/t 1985-2011 is inexcusable, and history will condemn regulators and automakers for not doing better.

        .@matthewisles @EPA @ENERGY how much of that #MPG jump is from electric cars? My @iMitsubishi #EV usually gets >130 #MPGe around Seattle

        @sleepylemur @EPA @ENERGY @iMitsubishi I think the numbers represent fleet averages, and therefore would include electrics

        @matthewisles this is why #MPGe is a bit of a scam; It lets @EPA and @ENERGY lie with statistics. Emissions vary with EV, all less than gas.

        @matthewisles @EPA @ENERGY ~130 MPGe in Seattle isn't equivalent emissions to similar driving & charging on @PSEtalk's grid: 1/2 thermal gen

        @matthewisles @EPA @ENERGY the same car on the east coast would have higher CO2 per distance driven, but still less than a gasoline car.

        .@matthewisles @EPA @ENERGY this is why we need a #CarbonTax! If people were paying for the carbon they emit, they'd _pay_ attention to it!

        @sleepylemur @EPA @ENERGY I'm okay with a carbon tax as long as it's not regressive and isn't used as a poison pill for social programs.

        @EPA @ENERGY Cars & factories pollute, so the corporations that make them must be regulated. Humans themselves do not pollute. #cdnpoli
