New Trump mileage standards to gut Obama climate effort

[bucolic_frolic]

5. Manufacturers follow these rules at their peril

I would suspect most people don't want them because they don't want to pay more for transportation, and poor mileage vehicles are worth less as the cycles of energy prices spike higher. So they are a poor investment for consumers, and a poor investment for manufacturers who are burdened with high fixed costs of production over a much lower vehicle production run.

So this stupid Trump policy is kind of self-correcting. He thinks he has all the power but he's just a big blowhard.
