Trump to visit Detroit to stop EPA's rushed auto rules
2017-03-14
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President Trump will visit bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
Wednesday to halt Environmental Protection Agency regulations that would force manufacturers to make cars that average more than 50 miles a gallon.

An industry executive privy to the White House plan told the Washington Examiner to expect Trump to roll back a final decision that the EPA rushed out late last year, when President B.O. was heading for the exit, imposing stricter fuel economy and emissions standards for vehicles beginning this year.

Trump will make his announcement at the American Center for Mobility in the Detroit suburb of Ypsilanti, Mich. He'll also visit Nashville, Tenn., that day.

#1  "Low gasoline prices mean people are buying more SUVs and pick-up trucks than fuel-efficient cars, hybrids and electric vehicles. Ninety-five models of electric, hybrid and other fuel-efficient small vehicles have failed to match the market demand for a single model of pick-up truck, industry says."

Free markets at work. Forcing people to buy certain vehicles they don't want is like forcing people to buy crappy, high-priced health insurance with a penalty if you don't. I recall when Joan Claybrook's (Nader's pal) NHTSA, under Carter tried to come up with a government safety car back in the '70s. You don't see any of them on the road. The govmint is not too good at design.
