Autoclub talking out of both sides of its tailpipe

I heard a Michael A. Rivlin podcast recently that described the AAA autoclub as anti-environment. The AAA has a big lobby on capitol hill, working on behalf of big oil and the auto industry. Why is AAA pushing a political agenda?

Interestingly, this month's AAA WESTWAYS magazine has two green articles. One is on green cars, and one is on car seats made from 100% recycled materials. I'm going to be optimistic, and conclude that Rivlin was mistaken, or AAA is getting green, and will in the future lobby in favor of the planet.
