The United States is…
The United States is exacerbating climate change and costs to consumers through its speed limits and lack of enforcement.
In most cases, higher speeds equal lower mpg, but also inflict more damage on road surfaces, especially when it involves heavy vehicles.
What ever happened to 55mph for trucks on highways, where their higher speeds inflict exponentially more damage to road surfaces, as well as putting the occupants of cars in exponentially more danger... corporate lobbying?
Do the savings in transportation costs to corporations offset the cost of repairing roads more frequently?
Have you ever gone on a trip during the spring, summer, or fall, anywhere in the US, without encountering road construction?
Contact your representatives and complain about the pollution spewing diesels racing along and pounding the H out of our roads. 😆 I'm joking of course... ordinary citizens have no representation in this ever increasingly corrupt country!
