Administration moves to rescind authority that Congress granted probably would end up in court. When President George W. Bush challenged California’s mileage-setting ability, California fought it. The Obama administration subsequently dropped the Bush effort.
The Trump plan would have to be posted in the Federal Register and would be subject to public comment. His administration has tried to ease or remove scores of environmental regulations that it regards as unnecessary and burdensome. The tougher mileage standards were a key part of the Obama administration’s efforts to reduce climate-changing fossil fuel emissions.on environmental matters alone, often as part of a group of states. Counting preliminary injunctions, California has won in court 19 times, said Sarah Lovenheim, a spokeswoman for California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
The auto industry as a whole doesn’t like the far tougher Obama-era mileage standards and fears it won’t be able to meet them, as U.S. consumers keep shifting away from sedans to less-efficient trucks and SUVs. Most automakers favor increasing mileage requirements at a lower rate than set under Obama. They also want one U.S. standard to avoid having to engineer separate vehicles for California and the states that follow its rules.
In July four automakers — Ford, Honda, BMW and Volkswagen — broke from the rest of the industry and struck a deal with California agreeing to 3.7 percent increases in mileage per year. That’s less than the 5 percent annual increase under the Obama-era standards.
You know how the republicans said the feds have too much control and states should make their own rules, well little thumb little dick
Disgusting climate change will kill us all.
TRUMP NOW DICTATES. TAKES AWAY STATES RIGHTS, WHAT IS NEXT? HIS TOTAL TRUMP DICTATORSHIP? WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TO LATE!!!
I'm ok with federally-set minimum standards, but not with capping states' goals to do better.
No body wants this. I suspect lobbyist are directly writing policy for the Trump administration in every department. They just present it and he, the rube, signs it.
It’s about time! KAG 2020!
Does it still count as a circus if it's 100% clowns?
Yeah the GOP - all about States Rights - except when they aren't. The scumbags in my former party need a punishing defeat. It will happen - younger voters don't see eye to eye with them and to an extent Democrats. Geriatric white males keep the gop alive today
Uh uhh, sure they are. maga
What happened to States Rights?
Sicko!
But what about states rights🙃
CheetoChristStupidCzar
Well I guess they’re no longer about state’s rights.
So much for states rights.i thought the gop was big on that.
Establishing a single fuel economy standard for States that vary greatly in population with extreme differences of traffic congestion would be a violation of the 10th Amendment USSupremeCourt
Business By the way cops wanted to know who talked to me so they could torture those individuals. Americans pleading for help punished by fucking thieves who kill bc they be jealous spoiled rotten brats - I now know what one of the woman look like 🎯 FBIMostWanted jack FBIHouston FBI
Business Spfld MO cops are sadly all corrupt - just went to police again, my mom is raped nightly by a Russian, I can say that now bc I just went over & a woman was speaking Russian in Jack's 🏠 cops followed me home & accused me of selfishness for not wanting best rape ever for my mom.
Lawsuit donnie!!
Man...about that small government.
Standards makes sense when conditions are more or less the same. I think California should be able to set its own emission standards, which are closely linked to fuel efficiency and Clean Air Act.
I'm sure most populous state CA with 5th largest economy in the world is not going to take this sitting down. Screw this Liar-in-chief.
RichardStiller4 Bravo 👏 Bravo 👏
Surprised anyone? Are we there yet?
Back to the caves with the GOP. 😐 Is there anyone in the party who isn't looking backwards?
There is n o good that this creature won’t try to destroy.
I remember when California was the Golden State...now is the Poop State.
almostjingo Thank you!
Funny how the GOP are all about the states having autonomy until it comes to protecting the fossil fuel industry over the environment.
Why? Just why would this be suggested?
Nice... california seems to think they are God. They are not.
almostjingo Fabulous- Reign in that rogue Nation - California
Trump's Environmental Pollution Administration at it again.
Hmm. Asserting the Feds above the state.
so idiotic.
❤️
Remember when the GOP acted like they cared about state’s rights? That was bullshit too.
He's mad because Californians are making better decisions than him?
Another fantastic example of how the GOP continues to lie to America.
F**k him! After WeThePeople vote donnyt and moscowmitch out next year we'll have to reverse repeal and revoke all the crap these fellas ramjammed on us.
Remind me again why we didn't let California leave the nation? realDonaldTrump
That is truly great news
Anything you can do to rein back the over reach by my once great state is a blessing
Why would you do this?
So much for states rights, I guess.
Repubs use to support states rights over federal. Might as well get it over with and rename them the Trump Party.
I thought the republicans were for states rights... until they aren’t. Trump will ultimately lose like everything else does.
Does’nt matter, the car manufacturer are on board already with Californias rules because they want to keep consumers happy.
Dangerous man at work !
Good
Remember when republicans used to be all about “states rights”?
Then it's time for California to go to court.
he looks like the ass-judge from Pink Floyd's The Wall
Our president is a child
TeresaMWalker Do we have a Congress anymore?
So now the GOP is against state’s rights?
Conservatives: states' rights when they pertain to slavery and segregation, but not for any other decision states make for the good of their citizenry. Lowering fuel standards helps OPEC, not American consumers.
DerangedDonald should just bomb us. EPA is non-existent. Let states set their goal for standard fuel economy. Why do they want to destroy America in this administration?
I knew this small government hype was just a cover story.
GOP: We want states’ rights. *California tries to get rid of fossil fuels* GOP: No, not like that.
drive a gas guzzler and go broke, every mile you drive just puts money in Exxon's pocket, not yours 35 miles =2.37 in a four-cylinder 10-12 miles =2.37 in a gas guzzler do the math it adds up quick
Party of State’s rights?
That's ok. All states have a constitutional right to deny any Federal Law unless Federalism is invoked. So in the end, this will be a suggestion unheard, especially if it's not even a law. Let's not forget the 10th Amendment.
So much for the Republicans fondness for states rights
야 도람푸 너도 조심혀 !
That would probably be a violation of the 10th Amendment.
Ooooh.. Federal Government control of the states... Very Republican idea.
I smell lawsuit California style.
At this point in time appears there really isn’t a Trump Cabinet,just a bunch of acting heads. Only folks left to brief next Administration will be Trump Corp.Not much to report, just losses, but will be tons of illegal legislation to overturn before and after the arrest begins.
State's rights and all that.
Well crap.
For a less perfect union.
The big oil lobbyist have been busy. Auto lobby too. It’s safe to say that the EPA is going to LOWER the fuel economy standard. God made earth and placed man as its custodian and we’re running it in the ground.
Why
What was that the GOP likes to talk about? Oh ya, no more Big Government... But this is what they weigh in on? Making cars less fuel efficient? 🙄
Is there ONE policy, order or law that has happened under the Chump that is for the benefit of the people?
Ffs no one wants to pay to more to fill there tanks. Even maga cultist
So the Koch brothers’ billionaires’ club continues to whistle the tune for this administration.
Wow! Republicans are now against State’s Rights to make their own decisions. It’s all about what Trump and his lobbyist Administration order States to do. Hey Republicans, You’ve lost the right to ever talk about State’s Rights, the National Debt, or Budget Deficits ever again.
States rights yeahhhhh
Then CA can import vehicles that meet their standards & the standards of their Citizens... Import them from China! Ha
SmallGovernment
Does he have to do the most insidious thing 100% OF THE TIME Thank God he lacks real ambition.
But who can afford to buy more petrol? Automakers should keep improving milage not make is worse! Buy foreign for better fuel economy...Putin laughing spreads his wings!
Big Boss Man ? Vincit Omnia Veritas
Democrats have sought that authority for years, thank you
I agree w/ that. Cal Gas prices R the highest in the US & their Governor is a 'bloody idiot.' What is good 4 the rest of the US should B good for Cal.
Noted. Bypassing Trump, California Reaches Deal With 4 Automakers To Raise Gas Mileage, Produce Fuel-Efficient Cars
For awhile I thought America would survive Trump. Now I'm not so sure.
ENOUGH! He is not the king or dictator. Would Congress dosomething
Watching orangepuppet gassing americans with carbonmonixide post 1944 is ... ironic.
“States rights”
The EPA under the trump administration has no standards.
is it possible for blood to actually boil? it feels like mine is
Thugs
Everyone says that California was really born in Kenya. I don’t know, but that’s what they all say.
Wait isn’t GOP the party of “states rights”? Guess it’s another core party value up for sale.
Great!
The GOP USED to be for States Rights, Small Government and Fiscal Responsibility.....they’ve THROWN it ALL down the toilet and the only platform they have now is “owning the libs”! Oh how the mighty have fallen
So raise the standards instead of lowering them to Donnie’s slithering standards.
Just goes to show you that the “states rights” argument was always a line of bullshit.
Car companies will not lower their standards bc of this. 1-it’s Bad PR and 2-easily seen forethought that this is batshit crazy and will be reversed as soon as Trump’s kicked to the curb Jan 21, 2021.
lol lol lol. Stuck in 1956
Time to go electric.
We are truly heading into the Dark Ages.
More centralized power. Tsk tsk.
I thought the GOP was all about states’ rights? I guess that only applies to the politically expedient things.
I live in CA. Smog is bullshit. CARB is bullshit. They even put smog pumps on motorcycles here. Lawn mowers too. The smog equipment robs power from engine and pushes dirty fumes into the intake.
So much for states rights !
Trying to destroy our environment stop this maniac
So much for states rights lol
pattmlatimes I'm sure car manufacturers will ignore California's preeminent auto market to side with a con man who will be gone in a few months.
CA...SECEDE.....
Why? It’s my understanding that most of the car makers don’t want to go back and most of the people certainly don’t want to get less gas mileage, so why just for the oil barons and Trump? Take it to court guys don’t let it happen and vote in 2020

pattmlatimes California will outlast this guy. And vote against him by 5 or 6 million votes next year.
I thought promoting states’ rights was a conservative priority..? Any comment GOP, GOPChairwoman?
Uh, that sounds like *legislation* to me. Abuse of power much?
...about time
States’ rights when it comes to guns but not the future of the planet. Got it.
Zeniro-Followeniro guy Here! Looks like the type of crazy faced person I'd Trust! Use 2 think the media/others just made Fun of our?.... Well who ever is POTUS cause guy there always talks 3rd, 4th, 5th Person, So? Not sure who that guy is?.... But that is All Natural Crazy! Ha!
I thought Republicans believed in state’s rights.
Isn’t “states rights” one of the battle cries of the right?
Something, something... States rights ...
The lawyers are making millions off the trump administration stupidity.
Because....... Of course they are.
He hates California.
None of these matters (among others) ought to have been turned over to Trump. Hillary tried to warn y'all. 🤔 🤔 🤔 CaliforniaEmissions ⛽
Wanting to screw California while killing all Americans is the Trump way.
Uh-oh paperwork - Donald doesn't like paperwork. Maybe it will be in Light Brite format for him.
Wait what happened to 'states rights'?
Good. The justification for that was supposed to be less carbon through more efficient cars but that wasnt the result. Its main result was to, shockingly, justify subsidizing selective parts of the auto industry
So much for “state’s rights.” Republicans are such hypocrites.
What if the industry still goes with California's fuel economy standards. Will Trump turn around and demand auto manufacturers make less fuel-efficient cars?
So sorry but California has led the nation in reducing pollution. Its extra tight emissions standards eliminated Los Angeles hill smog and pollution in 20 years..clean now.
Oil companies: we cannot afford to newer vehicles using less gas we need to make american burn again
how about a national standard for gun safety? or nah? states right? pick one, flip-floppy.
As if this will induce automakers to worsen their fuel economy to help big oil. Fuel economy is an attribute that people care about b/c it affects the wallets of the masses.
GOP Get ready for a Constitutional challenge.... Then don't bitch about it.
Nothing like a president that fights against saving the environment.
So much for states rights.
That’s fine. So California just won’t allow the sale of any vehicles that do not meet its standard. See what that does to the US Economy.
So the new GOP is no longer for 'states rights'?
Ah yes, the “pro-states rights” GOP strikes again
Anyone thinks the GOP is for states rights needs their head examined. They are not. Funny how even the manufacturers recognize their responsibility to the environment and are willing to meet California standards but Trump prefers to move backwards for some greedy donors of his.
Whoa!!! That won't ....whatever...he's off his meds!
The MSM always uses the worst pics ,when they are against that person ! KAG2020
States rights are only for discrimination, am I right?
Trump wants to kill us with dirty air. California will stand up.
What happened to states rights? Republic?
Remember when the GOP used to be all about State's Rights? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
States raghts! Mumble, mumble, mumble...... George Will is rolling over in his grave (well, he's not dead; maybe he's rolling over in his conbed).
Trump can have sex with a green monkey
JUST STOP DESTROYING OUT COUNTRY YOU CROOKS
Making America AssBackward Again
🤦♀️
Republicans and their State's Rights. This is what they were talking about, right guys?
STATES’ RIGHT? I think I’ve heard republicans say that before.
But the Republicans...u know the ones who scream states rights. FYI: some states have a whole lot of traffic...other states, have a whole lot of nothing. Each state knows what they need and should be allowed to set their own standards. He again, will lose in court
f*ck. They can do that? This is so bad. It’s like cartoon villain bad, but with catastrophic real world environmental consequences.
Everything Trump does is designed to kill the environment. I will never ever forgive the 'but her emails' crowd.
GOP Another atrocity by the Trump administration.
And then the industry will still go with California's rules.
Don’t piss off Gavin, he’ll cry to Nancy!
Conservatives, only caring about “states rights” when it comes to slavery and women’s sexual reproduction.
State’s rights not important for the environment? NotMyPresident and not my thirdLady bebreast
