Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Tuesday began the process of rolling back fuel economy standards set by the Biden administration that he said “put coercive pressure” on automakers to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles.

A news release posted on the website of the Federal Highway Administration said that Duffy’s “first act” was issuing a directive that will reset the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards.
 
“I am deeply honored by the trust placed in me by President Trump to lead this important Department and for the Senate in swiftly confirming my nomination,” Duffy said, according to the release.

“We are already hard at work executing the president's vision to usher in a golden age of transportation by taking immediate action to remove government overreach and lower costs for hardworking Americans.

This is a major step "backwards".
And a GOOD one.

Keep on steppin' Mr. Duffy.

Good.  Just do it the right way, the APA way, so it can’t be dismissed out of hand by a leftist judge.
