Move marks president’s latest effort to dismantle pollution regulations and support for cleaner-running vehicles
Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is repealing the Biden-era federal fuel economy standards, significantly weakening fuel efficiency requirements for tens of millions of new gasoline-powered cars and light trucks.
It marks the US president’s latest effort to dismantle pollution regulations and federal support for cleaner-running vehicles and renewable energy. Burning gasoline is a significant contributor to global heating and transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.
“We are officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible actually, Cafe standards that imposed expensive restrictions,” Trump said in an Oval Office announcement, flanked by top auto executives including the CEOs of Ford and Stellantis. “It put tremendous upward pressure on car prices, combined with the insane electric vehicle mandate.”
While Harris didn’t explicitly say it, it was obvious she would continue on climate issues.
And are you even reading what the article is about? Because it seems like you’re avoiding it. The article is literally about the fuel efficiency standards that Biden put in, and you are dead set on ignoring that. So I guess it bears repeating: Trump repealing Biden’s fuel efficiency standards is what you voted for.
Again, not even talking about the article. The comment is blaming the people who refused to vote for a shit candidate, and you all completely refuse to see the faults of your party. Sure they’re better than Republicans, but not by much. Neither party gives a shit about you. This isn’t the fault of non voters, it’s the fault of the system that’s currently in place and it doesn’t matter whose in charge, if the rich want it, they’re gonna get it. Trump wouldn’t be doing this if it didn’t benefit his backers. Same way the Dems would.
Nobody who is saying that to you is refusing to see the faults in Democrats. That’s not what’s happening.
Yes it is. I hope the consequences of your actions hurt you more than the average person which you also hurt.
