Ex-California governor says Trump's war on clean car rules 'commercially suicidal'
WASHINGTON - Former California Governor Jerry Brown slammed General Motors Co on Tuesday for siding with the Trump administration in its bid to bar California from setting its own fuel efficiency and tailpipe emission rules for passenger cars and trucks.
With the No. 1 U.S. automaker as its ally, the filing marked a victory for the Trump administration in what critics have described as one of its most harmful efforts to roll back regulations designed to fight climate change. GM and other automakers asked to intervene in the lawsuit arguing the administration’s rule provided “vehicle manufacturers with the certainty that states cannot interfere with federal fuel economy standards.”
Story continues"Now they come for the third round and they join in a shameless effort to protect their short term profits," said the former governor, who served four terms - two in the 1970s and between 2011 and January 2019.
