If he manages to make the US a bit greener, which 220,000 new fuel-efficent cars are now on the road and 220,000 old gas-hogs are off the road, he helped things out.

How much oil and gas did it take to make 220,000 cars? Another point is we are most likely 2-3 years away from a strong plug in auto movement.

How much energy lost in the future, because 220,000 people have new cars today that they might have held a few years out on, and in that time would have bought an electric car?

How much harder will it now be for companies to make a return on alternative fuel cars over the next three years, when the number of buyers have gone down due to car sales from this program?

It's easy to try and fix a problem. It's a whole lot harder to do so.
