Trump rolls back fuel efficiency standards for vehicles

[Akita Suggagaki]

Well since climate change is a hoax I guess it ok.

Trump rolls back Biden-era fuel efficiency standards for vehicles

Signed into law in 1975, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards regulate how far vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel.

Good by diesel exhaust fluid.

As far as I can tell, absolutely none of this affects DEF.

Sad, but no surprise. Trump cares more about money and making more money for the rich. Trump doesn't care about cleaner air, children being healthy, exercising. Or eating healthy.

The Cost of Trump’s Coal Fixation​

- October 27 2025

FORCING COAL PLANTS TO KEEP OPERATING TO PROVIDE A MARKET FOR COAL INDUSTRY
*****************************************************************************************************
- The administration’s policies ask the American taxpayer to pick up the tab for a dangerous and polluting industry with a failing market, while they simultaneously attack affordable and reliable clean energy.

- Removing pollution control requirements forcing outdated coal power plants to operate their retirement dates, and offering up our public lands to industry will not only harm our health and environment:

- The administration’s use of sham emergency orders to stop a Michigan coal-fired plant from retiring cost customers $29 million in just the first five weeks it was forced to keep burning coal.

GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZING COAL INDUSTRY
***************************************************************************************************
- While the administration and Republicans in Congress remove incentives for and block clean energy development, they are also increasingly subsidizing the fossil fuel industry at our expense.

- The Department of Energy recently announced that it will provide $625 million to subsidize aging, polluting coal-fired power plants.

- earlier this year, the Republicans passed a budget bill that cut the coal royalty rate from a 12.5% floor to a 7% ceiling, providing the coal industry a handout at the expense of a critical funding stream for state and local governments that goes toward schools and colleges, highway and road construction, and city and town budgets.

AMERICA LESS COMPETITIVE IN RENEWABLE ENERGY MARKETPLACE
*************************************************************************************************
- Clean energy is now cheaper than coal in many places and investing in it helps to keep down electricity costs for Americans. -

- In addition to raising energy prices, the Trump Administration and its allies in Congress have given a competitive edge to other countries that continue to grow their clean energy industries

- the MAGA movement now seems hellbent on rejecting these new opportunities to allow other countries to win the clean energy space.

..... renewables have now overtaken coal as the primary source of electricity around the world for the first time. Trump and congressional Republicans are holding us back from competing on the global stage

TRUMP'S FAKE ENERGY EMERGENCY - COAL-FIRE ENERGY INTENDED TO MEET DEMANDS OF Al Al DATA CENTERS
**********************************************************************************************************************
- Even before Trump took office, the U.S. was producing more oil and gas than any nation on the planet

- Much of the administration’s push for fossil fuels is ostensibly about fueling large-load data center development and the massive energy requirements that come with it, rather than providing power for American families. Communities are being forced (oftentimes without their knowledge) to take on both the cost and environmental risks of the AI boom.

COAL LEASES AMERICA'S PUBLIC LANDS
************************************************************************************
- The Trump Administration recently announced that it was opening 13.1 million acres of our national public lands to coal leasing.

- a whopping 72%. Americans want our elected officials to protect our public lands for recreation opportunities, wildlife, and economic benefits for local communities

TRUMP'S COAL FANTASY
*****************************************************************************************
- While the U.S. may see a temporary bump in coal production, it will not last as the market continues to move toward cheaper and cleaner energy.

- as the recent failed lease sales show, the market is already rejecting the Trump administration’s coal fantasy.

- the Trump Administration’s failure to enforce limits on silica dust — a carcinogen that has led to a spike in black lung disease. The Administration is ignoring worker health while helping its industry executive friends get even richer.

It is time to end the era of coal once and for all.

Even before Trump took office, the U.S. was producing more oil and gas than any nation on the planet

Yet everyone is praising China for its progress in renewable energy. I could probably say that the US is responsible for all the pollution in the world with no need for reference.

A recent article in the Maoist leftist Nation magazine tells us China is the world’s climate champion. Yet, right in the middle of their article they admit China is the largest emitter of carbon gases in the world and responsible 90% of the growth of CO 2 emissions since 2015.


Per the Maoist Nation article:


China’s advances are especially good news, because China is the world’s biggest emitter of carbon gases—and by a long shot: The country is responsible for 90 percent of the growth in CO2 emissions since 2015. Today, its share of total emissions is 32 percent, far ahead of the US (13 percent), India (8 percent), and the EU (6 percent).

China Is Now the World’s Climate Champion

The news out of COP30 does not engender much hope, but China’s embrace of renewable energy shows that climate protection makes smart economic sense.

Maybe China can mine 99% of the coal in the world in its transition to “clean” energy. If Trump mines less than 1% of it, the anti MAGA, international federation can blame conservative Americans for the next natural disaster that can only be a result of maga induced “climate change.”
