Trump Loosening Of Emission Standards Complete, Saving Consumers About $1000 A Vehicle

Brilliant move.

California will be in deep shit after Trump's re-election in November. I cannot wait to see Trump bitch slap Newsom to hell and back.

This has never been a "policy" but only an arbitrary 'rule" created by Barry Soetoro and his merry band of Marxists. As its not law these lawsuits are irrelevant. There is no way they'll win... Barry, when he was president, let some states set their own standards but guess what, Barry is in The Hampton's now at his beach house by the "rising oceans". President Trump says no, there will be one standard not multiple. That said Barry wanted automakers to have a CAFE fleet ave to be 55mpg in 2026 where as President Trump lowered it to 40mpg.

The spin from liberals is, "consumers would save X$ (because we're all driving Yugo sized vehicles) on gasoline. We "save" but it doesn't say what we're driving. From Automotive News (7/16/2016) Automakers have all the tools at their disposal to meet the 54.5 mpg corporate average fuel economy targets for the 2025 model year, but buyer preferences for SUVs and trucks make it likely that the industry will fall short of that number, U.S. regulators said in a report Monday.

So if the car companies that signed on to this nonsense want to adhere to it, GO FOR IT! There is nothing stopping them except a free market. This is an effort by elites to tell the citizens to buy Bolts, Leaf's and Yugos vs what our free market allows. Its Marxism... so glad Barry is being erased.

The framing of this argument by environmentalists is way off base. It's not like the left wanted emission free cars and the right insisted they all burn coal.

A goal of 55mpg was ambitious, 40 is still ambitious compared to where we used to be. And of course this should be a federal guideline. Having separate standards in different states is an absurd burden on manufacturers.

Incorrect: "The framing of this argument by environmentalists is way off base."

The Alt-Left is extremist and refuses any sense of balance. Framing this argument by environmentalists is spot on. 35mpg fleet--EVs excluded--would be a logical end point.

If you let the industry dictate terms, you would still have very polluting vehicles, that can't stop well or turn, don't have seatbelts and fold like a tin can when you hit something or someone. The clean air over LA and Deli won't last. Rising standards create a better future for your children. The debate over how fast they rise remains a political one.

As expected, your response is the typical irrelevant, illogical Alt-Left's idiocy. Conservatives are not favor of pollution. They are in favor of BALANCE which is impossible if you're a part of the irrational Alt-Left.

Actually it is completely logical and sadly historically correct.

All these Trump articles are alwayys highlighted by the most dufus looking photos.

Who cares? People shall go after Trump and his fuk'n friend Xi!

I guess I wasn't very clear because I am agreeing with you.

Hell has frozen over.

In the end it will make US cars less competitive globally. I could be incorrect (feel free to point out any other) but I think the Republican Party is the only major political party in the world that does not believe in man induced climate change. Although I don't necessarily agree mpg is the way to get to clean air and think it should be solely based on the emissions produced, I do think we should be leading the way and selling our lower emission/zero emmision cars and other technology to the world.

Hell has frozen over.

I'm capable of evaluating any issue on its merits and drawing my own conclusion. It is what educated, mature people do.

Go AA degree! JK

I don't think it will matter at this point, Trump and CA are both wasting time and resources on a moot argument. EVs have won as the next gen powertrain based on industry roadmaps. Investment in ICE and hydrogen are dead, even Toyota has given up and is creating an EV partnership with BYD.
