President Trump has announced plans to reverse stricter pollution regulations for cars implemented by the Biden administration, asserting that these changes will have insignificant effects on the environment. In contrast, scientific research has consistently demonstrated that automobile emissions are a major source of U.S. pollution, significantly impacting climate change and public health. The Biden administration sought to counteract these effects by implementing stricter fuel economy standards that require automakers to achieve an average of 65 miles per gallon by 2031. Trump's proposed rollback would return standards to levels from 2020, allowing a fleet average of about 40 miles per gallon.
President Trump announced his plan to relax pollution limits from cars, claiming it wouldn't significantly impact the environment despite decades of science indicating otherwise.
Decades of science show that automobile pollution has harmed public health and the environment, contributing to climate change and extreme weather phenomena.
The Biden administration tightened tailpipe pollution limits, pushing automakers toward electric vehicles to significantly reduce carbon emissions and achieve better fuel economy.
Mr. Trump expressed his intent to revert to 2020 fuel economy standards, which mandated a fleetwide average of about 40 miles per gallon for vehicles.
