If the Mitt Romney of today debated himself from a few years ago, he would likely call himself a government-loving socialist.
In 2007, as he prepared his national presidential campaign, Romney explicitly supported 50-mile-per-gallon fuel efficiency standards, electric cars, government programs for new automotive technologies, and renewable energy to reduce the global warming "burden" of greenhouse gases:
We have to make our automobiles far more fuel efficient. I'd love to see we're gonna get up to 50 miles per gallon. The time will come, people will look back and say, "You're kidding me, cars back then only got 25 miles to the gallon? You're kidding!"
