Deppert with Pew Environment Group Urges Contacting President Obama about Fuel Efficiency Standards

Dear Blog Readers:

I received this message from Chuck Deppert who is the Indiana Representative for the Pew Environment Group. Deppert has attended and participated in many of our programs and activities. Will you join me in watching the video and then contacting President Obama about this important issue?

If you want more information or would like to help with more of the Pew Clean Energy Program Campaigns, please contact Deppert.

This Pew Clean Energy Program video highlights the benefits of increasing fuel efficiency—or miles-per-gallon (MPG)—standards for cars and light trucks to as high as 60 MPG by 2025. It would increase investments in new technologies, save consumers money at the pump and help the United States break its cycle of addiction to foreign oil by saving more than 1.3 billion barrels.


Opponents are lobbying President Obama to adopt the weakest possible fuel efficiency standards. Please help counteract these efforts by urging President Obama to set the highest mileage standards of up to 60 mpg that will save American families money at the pump and decrease the amount of oil imported from overseas. He needs to hear your voice!
