Trump’s New Auto Rollback Is an Economic Disaster
Most Americans understand that rightsizing environmental rules requires trade-offs. The government can make it cheaper for Americans to drive, or it can reduce pollution from cars, but it can’t usually do both. Navigating such trade-offs is messy and disagreeable; it is what makes environmental policy hard. But with this rule, the Trump administration has somehow chosen neither option: It both discourages driving and worsens air pollution; increases costs for consumers and eliminates auto jobs. It accomplishes no obvious public-policy goal. Asked to choose between Door No. 1 and Door No. 2, it walks into a wall.
For tedious reasons, three government entities share custody of the tailpipe-pollution rules: the U.S. Environmental Protection Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the state of California.
