Driving America: Your Car, Your Government, Your Choice

By James Johnston

This provocative and far-sighted examination of the American automobile industry takes on global warming, the Kyoto treaty, EPA clean air standards, vehicle emissions, road and highway decay, and motor vehicle safety, as former GM executive and AEI fellow James Johnston challenges the science behind sweeping government regulation, revealing what climate mandates could cost consumers and what they mean for the future of personal mobility and freedom of the road.

This book sheds light on environmental and other issues, including global warming, that will deeply affect the future of the automobile and of all American industry.

Customer Reviews

Well-written work on three major transportation issues.

Johnston has produced a thoughtful, well-researched and documented work dealing with three issues of major significance to modern citizens: automobile fuel efficiency, global warming and air pollution. There are fascinating insights into the process of legislation and regulation in the US government. This book should be required reading for anyone with an interest in our environment, and concern about the appropriateness of the measures being taken to protect it.
