just a real quick search of : Obama's jet trips vs pollution

This may not be Myth busters, but..... There is one thing I will say and back it up with a link: The EPA is on the wrong track with the ruling about converting cars to race cars and pollution.. Racing causes way less pollution than the aircraft industry.
