Efficiency is NOT gaining. It's still going down. The SUV loophole has opened up an opportunity for car manufacturers to make less efficient vehicles, and they are taking it. (Well, at least the US manufacturers are.)

Politicians have meetings, and spend their times on symposiums, in governance sessions, and (of course) getting re-elected. That's sort of the definition of "politician." Politicians don't install solar panels on roofs. That would be up to people like you.
