While ending such needless mandates is welcome news, the administration also needs to end the Obama era mandates for essentially zero emission diesel engines as well. They force buyers of highway tractors, farm and construction equipment to shoulder the cost of tens of thousands of dollars in useless ingredients.
The proposal would significantly reduce fuel economy requirements, which set rules on how far new vehicles need to travel on a gallon of gasoline, through the 2031 model year, according to a White House official and several people familiar with the plan.
These ever escalating CAFE standards have the goal of FORCING every auto manufacturer to make EV’s. They have to … if they want their “fleet” of vehicles to comply. They cannot make an ICE F-150 unless they lose billions on the Mustang EV.
Thank you, President Trump. Because these idiotic standards are being paid-for across the entire fleet of autos … which make automobile ownership an ever-shrinking possibility.
The government shouldn’t be involved in many things!
The Eternal Scam
Every idiot quoted in that article speaks from the frame of mind that “carbon emissions” are increasing the temperature of the planet. As long as they are treated respectfully when they air that fantasy, we are making no progress.
Heh,they mandate it,then they wear it.
All minions must use the government mandated transport system…For at least 3 decades before such rules can be imposed onto the tax payers.
All government servants,from the elected to the selected must obey their insane rules..
Let them drive battery operated cars,let them us public transit,let them wear the hairshirt of netzero..
How about a “Carbon free” life for every fool who seeks to impose their madness by government force.?
How about every member of gang green prove that they get 75 miles to the gallon in every vehicle they use?
These fools and bandits need a reality check,being forced to practise what they seek to impose, would go a long way to getting them to Shut the F up and try living their own lives..
Or we could just start “Open carry for tax payers” and tax payers only.
In fact the system works in exactly opposite fashion to what you sensibly describe.
The super-rich elites and members of government are/will always be permitted to abuse the system and circumvent the standards they mandate for the rest of us. So Al Gore and Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney and every idiot liberal politician from Massachusetts are forever on a jet traveling somewhere and doubling down on their massive carbon footprint; while we walk to work. Meanwhile the idiot Bernie Sanders lectures us about the threat of Oligarchs, 90% of whom are members of the Demented Democrat Party.
