Huh?! CBS News: ‘Repealing rule to curb greenhouse gas emissions will increase gas prices’ – Why? Because ‘rescinding measures promoting EVs’ means ‘more consumers will purchase gas vehicles, resulting in higher gas consumption & high gasoline prices for everyone’

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano comments:

“According to the CBS News article citing a former Biden administration official’s analysis, if Americans were forced to buy EVs, and the Biden-era gas-powered car bans had gone into effect, demand for gasoline would drop and gas prices would then be ‘projected’ to be cheaper, because Americans would be forced to drive EVs. So by giving Americans a choice of what cars they want to drive, the Trump administration is raising gas prices and causing job losses. Huh?”

Fuel Economy Penalties Wiped Clean as Feds Dismantle CAFE Standards – ‘Effectively gutted the U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, wiping out years of penalties for automakers’

In a major regulatory rollback, the federal government has effectively gutted the U.S. Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, wiping out years of penalties for automakers who failed to meet fuel efficiency targets. According to The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has informed car companies that they will no longer be on the hook for missing federal fuel economy standards dating back to the 2022 model year. Just as significant, the penalty for future infractions has been reduced to zero dollars.

The move is part of the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a sweeping piece of legislation that dramatically alters the government’s approach to fuel economy and clean transportation. With no financial consequences tied to CAFE violations, the standards — long considered a key pillar of U.S. environmental policy — have effectively lost their teeth.
