Discussing Climate Change with Mr. Dingell

This week the Green Machines Tour participated in two town hall meetings to discuss climate change with Congressman John Dingell. It’s quite interesting that Dingell, who’s been the House Representative for the Dearborn / Ann Arbor area in Michigan for over 50 years, is now Chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee and in the position to craft climate change legislation.  Sure, he has a history of helping to establish some significant environmental laws – like the Clean Air Act, among others - but what’s his history in terms of fuel economy and efficiency? He does, after all, represent thousands of auto workers and has several assembly plants and auto companies in his district.  Given this, can we trust him to draft effective climate change legislation?
