EPA to roll back Obama-era car fuel, emissions standards
« on: April 03, 2018, 06:10:36 pm »
Chicago Tribune by Juliet Eilperin and Brady Dennis 4/2/2018

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt announced Monday that he would revoke Obama-era standards requiring cars and light trucks sold in the United States to average more than 50 miles per gallon by 2025, a move that could change the composition of the nation's auto fleet for years.

The push to rewrite the first-ever carbon limits on cars and SUVs, which came out of an agreement among federal officials, automakers and the state of California, is sure to spark a major political and legal battle.

California has authority under the Clean Air Act to set its own emissions limits, and it has threatened to sue if its waiver is revoked and it is blocked from imposing stricter targets. Such a fight has broad implications because 12 other states, representing more than a third of the country's auto market, follow California's standards.

Get rid of the stoopit "Ethanol Mandate" while you're at it.
