ФИА

[skom]

Всё же не смог пройти мимо , уж больно показательная новость.
Вот кто в действительности выставляет требования в американских сериях, и кто как из серий хочет их выполнять:

According to recent reports General Motors will "formally petition" NASCAR to adopt ethanol fuels for its race series.
Thus count GM as being among those wanting to drastically reduce the nasty gases being spewed into the Earth's atmosphere because of the perception of arising global problems that, so far, have yet to be conclusively proven.
In April the federal government issued new air quality regulations that immediately allow ethanol plants to emit more than twice the previously allowed volume of air pollutants without triggering the air quality permit restrictions imposed on other smokestack industries.
Furthermore, U.S. farmers are very unlikely to produce enough product to meet President George W. Bush's goal of consuming 35-billion gallons (132-billion liters) of alternative fuels every year by 2017 - a 500-percent increase over current requirements. Can you say "continuing trade imbalance?"
"That's a crock," NASCAR vice-chair and Grand-Am co-founder Jim France said when asked about it.
"Absolutely incorrect and lacking merit," Grand-Am president Roger Edmondson said.

Если НАСКАР ложит на GM и федеральную программу, с какой стати он будет слушать рекомендации ФИА? ФИА - это лузеры от бизнеса, очень напоминают мне чиновников-бюрократов и налоговиков - сами ничерта сделать не могут, а всё, к чему они прикасаются, превращается в дерьмо.
