It seems that one of the best ways to bring both the government and citizens to action is through our country's spokespeople (which are unfortunately celebrities). As long as celebs and the media continue to question whether or not we are doing our best, these issues will remain in the spotlight, and hopefully be addressed. If we can truly revolutionize the auto industry, then I think a giant step will be made.
