...newly proposed regulations will still have to go through the usual period of commenting, and there's always a chance that such a fragile coalition of politicians, greens and auto executives could collapse. But the very fact the White House brought - and kept - everyone at the table offers some hope as the much tougher battle over carbon cap and trade boils in Congress. "President Obama made the creation of a clean-energy economy a key aspect of his domestic agenda, and he's fulfilling that," says Weiss. It's a good start - but there's still a long road ahead...
