No way. Way too much money and encourages the destruction of the environment by making access to polluting automobiles cheaper. My region's citizens don't want to subsidize your dirty habits.

Subsidizing automobiles for only minimal environmental benefit per dollar actually results in a net environmental loss when you consider how many people will be able to drive now that their automotive efficiency and rebate lower costs. I pushed for high speed rail and metropolitan transportation infrastructure improvements in my first term. That law has taken cars off the roads, let's not disturb that trend. Mass transit is superior to heavier traffic and more auto traveling, especially for my region, you know, the one that is the wealthiest region and decided to develop a mass transit program that works.

Besides the fact that this legislation is anti-envitonment with a nice wig, I really think that subsidizing more automobiles weakens the move away from car culture and hurts the mass transit programs we've invested so much in. We're not going to change our transportation habits if we promote the automobile in such a way. Atlasia has made a commitment to green energy and mass transit bolth. Let us honor it.

People choosing to use cars can certainly pay a fair market value for the product, no?
