Details of the proposed plan…were not immediately available. But #Trump teased the announcement during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, saying that his admin was taking steps to lower the price of #gasoline-powered cars & dismantle policies that promote #ElectricVehicles.“We’re bringing back the automobile business,” Trump said, adding, “I think we’ll be bigger than we’ve ever been in the auto business.”#law #EnvironmentalLaw #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #FossilFuels

#Congress established the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or #CAFE, standards in 1975 as a way to curb dependence on foreign #oil. Since then, efficiency rules have been regularly tightened, compelling automakers to improve the fuel efficiency. The standards have also helped to introduce innovations like #hybrid & #ElectricVehicles.The rules have significantly reduced the #GreenhouseGas #emissions that spew from automobile tailpipes & are dangerously warming the planet.#Trump #law #Climate

Transportation is the single largest source of #GreenhouseGas #emissions in the #US.Under a rule finalized in June 2024, the #Biden admin required automakers to achieve an average fuel efficiency of about 50 miles per gallon for new vehicles by model year 2031. To comply, federal ofcls expected that manufacturers would increase the sales of #ElectricVehicles, which use no #gasoline & would help boost the avg fuel efficiency across their product lines.#Trump #law #ClimateChange #FossilFuels

@Nonilex fact is, the cat is already out of the bag. Nothing he can do will substantially affect sales of EVs in other countries. Instead, he is just holding America back.Trump is a complete dickhead. And too old to care what happens to the planet in a few years.

#Biden admin officials estimated that the rule would lower fuel costs by $23 billion while preventing more than 710 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere by 2050 — the equivalent of taking 165,000 cars off the roads.When #Trump took office, he immediately sought to eliminate federal support for #ElectricVehicles, pledging to end what he called Biden’s “E.V. mandate."#law #EnvironmentalLaw #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #FossilFuels

#UpdateSo this has officially happened#Trump on Wednesday threw the weight of the federal government behind cars that burn #gasoline rather than #ElectricVehicles, gutting one of the country’s most significant efforts to address #ClimateChange & thrusting the #AutomobileIndustry into greater uncertainty.#law #EnvironmentalLaw #regulations #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #GreenhouseGas #emissions #pollution #PublicHealth #economy https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/climate/trump-fuel-economy-car-rules.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

@Nonilex The whole regime is corrupt and hate anything that makes life better for anyone but them.And this will hurt the US economy like he'll in the medium term. US car companies will go under when they get left in the dust on basic tech like EVs.
