Green Gone

No more mandates:

The president signed three congressional resolutions on Thursday, putting an end to California’s ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. The California mandate was adopted by 11 other states, representing one-third of the auto market in the United States. “We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating the California electric vehicle mandate once and for all,” Trump said at the White House. “They said it couldn’t be done, but boy, it had us tied up in knots for years. And they passed these crazy rules in California … the automakers didn’t know what to do.” The move, made possible by Trump signing resolutions of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, was celebrated by a group representing major automakers, including GM, Stellantis, Toyota, Hyundai, and Volkswagen, Reuters reported. “The fact is these EV sales mandates were never achievable,” said Alliance for Automotive Innovation CEO John Bozzella. “In reality, meeting the mandates would require diverting finite capital from the EV transition to purchase compliance credits from Tesla.”
