Automobiles are dangerous as all get-out.

There are systems called zero discharge emission systems that would prevent any pollution from making it into the water or the air.

And autos are not the only product that could be made more energy efficient if we just put in place sensible requirements. This is also true of many appliances and even of entire buildings.

Electric cars aren't pollution-free; they have to get their energy from somewhere.

There can be no intelligent control of the lead danger in industry unless it is based on the principle of keeping the air clear from dust and fumes.

Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.

I believe those that produce the least emissions in autos will also be those who have the greatest success worldwide.

It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.

What they are doing is taking something that otherwise creates pollution and turning it into something useful.

Vehicle emissions standards directly sparked the development and application of a wide range of automotive technologies that are now found throughout the global automobile market.
