Council on Competitiveness Recommendations to Reward Efficiency

The Council Recommends that:

Congress set the 2030 CAFE standard to 100 mpg and provide more federal transportation funding to states that are the most effective in reducing vehicle miles traveled per person.
All states decouple utility rates from gross energy sales and focus on providing utilities with a reasonable rate of return on all their investments.
