COMMENTARY: Trump Puts Energy Policy Back in Congress’s Hands
The EPA's rollback eliminates a 7.2 billion-metric-ton greenhouse gas reduction target and leads automakers to cut $52 billion in EV investments, shifting toward higher-emission vehicles.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump announced at the White House that the Environmental Protection Agency rescinded its 17-year-old greenhouse gas endangerment finding and withdrew Biden-era tailpipe standards with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.
- By repealing standards, EPA officials and allies argue it will help revive US auto manufacturing, reducing burdens and lowering vehicle prices, amid recent $52 billion writedowns by Ford, GM, and Stellantis.
- Analysts note the EPA's rescission erases a projected $52 billion in greenhouse-gas reduction, while US car owners face about 100 billion gallons more gasoline through 2050, costing up to $185 billion.
- US auto industry is scaling back EV plans as Ford stopped F-150 Lightning production, Stellantis cancelled the Ram 1500, and GM shifted Orion to gas models.
- Experts warn the rollback risks ceding clean-vehicle leadership to BYD, Chinese automaker, while Rhodium Group projects US EV growth at half pace and the Biden administration estimates $13 billion lost in annual health benefits.
