Less noise is bad?
I'm not a subscriber at this website, but this teaser seems worth a look...
It's on the Republican-American website:
"Coming soon to a statute book near you: A law requiring noisier hybrid cars. This latest consequence of reflexive environmentalism is rooted in a University of California study that found slow-moving, quiet-running hybrids must be 40 percent closer to pedestrians than conventional vehicles before they make enough noise to be detected. The National Federation of the Blind believes it is a matter of time before someone walks off a curb and into the path of a hybrid."
