Obama Skewers US Carmakers on Gas Guzzlers
Agence France-Presse

White House hopeful Barack Obama on Monday rebuked giant
US auto makers over gas-guzzling cars, warning they had
themselves to blame for current woes after racing to build
bigger, faster vehicles.

The Democratic senator traveled to the industry heartland
in Detroit to warn America could no longer sustain bloated
energy consumption, unveiling a plan to encourage auto
companies to build more fuel-efficient cars.

"The auto industry's refusal to act for a long time has
left it mired in a predicament for which there is no easy
way out," Obama said.

"But 'expensive to do' is no longer an excuse for failure
to do," Obama said, becoming the latest presidential
candidate to call for energy policy reform.

Oil dependency corrupts emerging democracies, jeopardized
US security and harms the planet, said Obama, vying with
Senator Hillary Clinton for top billing in the Democratic
White House field.

"For the sake of our security, our economy, our jobs and
our planet, the age of oil must end in our time," he told
the Detroit Economic Club, also noting that auto workers
union has also resisted change.

"For years, while foreign competitors were investing in
more fuel-efficient technology for their vehicles, American
automakers were spending much of their time investing in
bigger, faster cars."

The result was, Obama said, that while US cars typically
averaged around 27.5 miles (44 kilometers) per gallon.

Japanese vehicles had surpassed American standards at an
average of 45 miles (72 kilometers) to the gallon, he said.

He pledged to strike a bargain with auto manufacturers,
by offering tax incentives to help them upgrade plants to
produce more fuel-efficient vehicles and help defray health-
care costs for workers if firms invested in new age
technology.

American consumers would also get tax breaks to encourage
them to buy more fuel efficient, US-produced cars, he said.

Clinton Monday meanwhile campaigned in Obama's home town of
Chicago, as a poll by the Rasmussen organization suggested
she had recaptured her lead in the race.

The New York Senator had the support of 34 percent of
likely Democratic voters, compared to Obama's 26 percent.
The same organization reported on April 30 that Obama had
a 32 to 30 percent lead in the race.

Clinton has proposed putting huge profits of oil firms into
a strategic fund to invest in new kinds of energy and
technologies.

Another top tier Democratic candidate, John Edwards, has
call for investment in clean, renewable energy and bio
fuels, and a new generation of efficient cars and trucks.
