Obama announced today new C.A.F.E standards for American automobile manufacturers. However, there is a loophole that states that in 2021, the car companies can renegotiate on the 54.5 mpg regulation if they "claim the standard is unattainable." Which basically means that they have less of an incentive to innovate dramatically if they know they have an opt out option in the future. The Obama administration should stick to more strict guidelines that are not allowed to be deviated from. This is how we can expect revolutionary breakthroughs in vehicle technology.
