Help is on the way.....

[DIRTYSECRET]

NOW they tell us. Prostitutes.

[SandRat]

Cancel all EPA rules and the E.P.A.

[setha]

In response, get rid of CAFE and encourage the manufacture and sale of US-proportion vehicles.

Less EcoBoost compacts and Transits, more Crown Vics, E-series vans, and full-power Mustangs.

[realcleanguy]

Well......I would own a hybrid of they were the same price as gas cars, and they performed the same. Teslas are too expensive

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

2022-2025?
What will the Executive Administration look like 5-10 years out of the Trump era?

The obvious thing to do is to negate the “years-extended mandates” by EO and make them specific to the current time-period.

How is it that the Congress or Executive can impose on the future? All legislation should be configured to to be actionable in the current time-frames corresponding to election activities.

Each federal budget should be set to a 6-year cycle, ONLY.

[ConservativeMind]

I like the Ford Fusion Hybrid, I will say.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[zencycler]

I say we start callling them “fake cars” rather than “hybrids”.

[BlueStateRightist]

Shouldn’t Trump see what Ivanka has to say about this first?

[N. Theknow]

Cars that run on batteries...

What runs on batteries?

TOYS!

Perhaps Ford should build an electric and/or hybrid cars that people want.

Tesla sells every car they can manufacture. Depending on the model, there's a waiting list.

And if you want something with more range:

Acura 2017 NSX Hybrid

I've driven the RLX Hybrid sedan that has essentially the same system (albeit the engine is in the front, and the pair of electric motors are in the back). In "sport" mode, the thing launches like a bat out of hell.

Let the free market decide how green I want to go. The government should focus on 2017-2020 terrorism, 2017-2020 cybercrime, 2017-2020 political corruption.

[ari-freedom]

Is it crony capitalism when regulations are removed as part of the deal? Nevertrumper minds blown

[lurk]

Speaking of the Gibson guitar raid, there’s a can full of bureaucrats needing some legal whuppin over that.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

After a few years the insane asylum’s will have parking lots packed with hybrid’s and EV’s from patients driving up and checking in.

I've worked in and around this industry for over 30 years. The CAFE standards for cars are one thing, but the biggest travesty perpetuated by EPA has been the diesel emissions requirements which have impacted ever American due to our reliance on trucking for transportation.

Look at the graphic below that shows there is no end to the extent to which they will push manufactureres - their stated goal was to make the exhaust from a diesel engine clean enough you could breathe it. The allowed leveles of NOx (oxides of nitrogen) and Particulate Matter (what made the black smoke) have been progressively pushed down year after year, in cahoots with the EU standards. There is never a point at which they were willing to say "OK this is good enough". Instead every Class 8 truck now must carry a reservois of pee (DEF aka urea) that is injected into the exhaust stream. We pay for this insanity.

Nobody likes pollution but there has to be a balance, and the EPA on it's own is incapable of finding it.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The fuel mileage for standards for heavy trucks needs to go, too.

[Cicero]

Well, a little bit of reasonable science (not crony science) would help. Ethanol uses much more energy than it saves. Get rid of it! Electric and hybrid cars also use more energy than they save. Let people buy them if they want to, but don’t subsidize them or force anyone to provide electricity for them.

Do we need an EPA? Well, maybe. But it should be cut by about 90% and do a reasonable job, if that is possible with our government and the way so many people have been educated about the “environment” or will take payoffs to do stupid things. I believe in protecting the environment, but in a reasonable way. I’m not sure if that’s possible, but maybe we should at least try it. As things are now, the EPA is wasteful, and more destructive of the environment than helpful.

[RedStateRocker]

I just wish I could keep my VW TDI. GREAT car. get rid of CARB.

[Vaduz]

If progressives had their way cars would have a wind up spring and a sail.
