Trump confirms U.S. will revoke California's power to require cleaner cars via ReutersTV
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump the state of California went to war on Wednesday over who should set the standards in the United States for vehicle emissions and electric cars, foreshadowing a legal battle over environmental policy issues that will affect the auto industry and consumers.
The announcement will not immediately lead to revised emissions requirements, but the Trump administration plans to announce this autumn a separate rule to dramatically roll back Obama-era fuel-efficiency standards agreed with California, advancing a multipronged attack on the state’s efforts to reshape the mix of vehicles driven by Americans.
Newsom, Becerra and Nichols said the state will go to court to challenge the administration’s action once it is official.Trump’s action came on the same day teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg was addressing the U.S. Congress and urging lawmakers to treat climate change “as the existential crisis it is.”
California officials, Democratic presidential candidates and environmental groups countered that Trump’s action benefits only the oil industry. “Every single one of these companies knows where the consumer is going and where the world is going ... the elimination of the internal combustion engine,” Newsom said.
