"Future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump under first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration."
"The fleet of new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs will need to reach 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, and the government is developing plans for future vehicle models that could push the standards to 47 mpg to 62 mpg by 2025."Is this good enough?
Among other things, we will be discussing:
-The ABA Environmental Law Conference in New Orleans-The Pace Environmental Law Moot Court Competition- West Virginia Environmental Law Moot Court Competition- Job Opportunities in Environmental Law- Labels for Household Cleaner Project- EPA Open Government Project- Does the Gowanus Canal really have gonorrhea?
Snacks will be served!
