Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Blames 9-11 on Ronald Reagan and Fuel Efficiency Standards NewsBusters.org:
This is crazy. I harshly question the logic that is being put forward by this argument. I think that if the gas mileage was lowered, or is lowered, it will increase the distance that people drive. This means that the usage of gas would not be drastically lowered, or kept low in a meaningful way. The logic is also based on the idea that if we were not involved in the region for oil reasons, they would not attack us, which I don't believe.
"If we had left those fuel economy standards intact, Ronald Reagan
rolled them back, we would not have had to import one drop of oil after 1986.
Think of what that would have done to our history. The World Trade Center would
probably still be standing. We would have avoided two Gulf Wars. We would be a
prosperous nation. We wouldn’t be bound down in this Mesopotamian quagmire that
has destroyed our reputation and destroyed the reputation of democracy across
the globe."
