The US is set to loosen its fuel economy rules, reversing another Biden-era policy that had been expected to lead to increased take-up of electric cars.

Which is why Trump raised the price of imported steel and aluminum and greatly increased tariffs on imported automobiles. A great plan conceived in Oppositeworld.

Then Trump will whine that US car manufacturers don't export enough products, and blame other countries for it! 🤣

Given that the world is moving towards electric vehicles, I don't think that exports of US autos are going to be much of an issue.

I doubt maga allmost everytime...

Title is correct ... "helping the auto industry"

 

Not the end customer, as CN's superior, less expensive autos aren't available.  Been there, done that, owned USA, DE & JP's inferior, overpriced  products and now I would only own a BEV from CN.

 Texas led the way in electricity produced from wind, generating 28% of all U.S. wind power in 2024. Texas generated almost three times more wind power than the next biggest wind energy-producing state (Iowa). Wind accounted for 63% of all electricity generated in Iowa — a larger share of total in-state electricity generation than any other state.

Not surprising, really. Everybody knows that Texas is run by woke lefties/socialists/marxists.

 

Helping to make fuel more affordable unlike Bidens record setting inflation. President Trump delivering the goods for all Americans

 

 

Trump has made US cars and parts considerably more expensive. Time to admit his tariff polices are a disaster. An epic failure.

Or you could stop operating on automatic pilot and do a simple investigation:

 

Clean Water Act dramatically cut pollution in US waterways

The Clean Water Act:
Protects Water Quality: Despite dramatic population growth, the number of waters meeting water quality standards has doubled since the law’s passage in 1972.
Improves Sewage Treatment: The Clean Water Act has funded 35,000 wastewater projects totaling $650 billion. These grants have benefitted water quality across the country.
Prevents Industrial Pollution: The law prevents 700 billion pounds of pollutants from places like refineries, sewage treatment plants and factory farms from entering our waters each year.

https://www.nwf.org/Our-Work/Waters/Clean-Water-Act

 

Major Achievements & Air Quality Improvements

• Dramatic drop in overall emissions. Since 1970, emissions of the six most common “criteria” pollutants (particles, ozone precursors, lead, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide) have fallen by about 78% — even as the U.S. economy, population, energy use, and vehicle miles traveled increased. gispub.epa.gov+2Environmental Protection Agency+2

• Cleaner air across multiple pollutants. From around 1990 to 2020, national concentrations dropped significantly: ~ 73% for carbon monoxide, ~ 86% for lead (vs. 2010), ~ 61% for nitrogen dioxide (annual), ~ 25% for ozone, ~ 41% for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ~ 26% for 24-hour coarse particulate matter (PM10), and ~ 91% for sulfur dioxide. Environmental Protection Agency+2gispub.epa.gov+2

• Much cleaner vehicles, engines, and fuels. Thanks to EPA emissions and fuel-quality standards, modern passenger cars, light trucks, and heavy-duty diesel engines are now up to 98–99% cleaner (tailpipe pollutants) than comparable 1960s–70s vehicles. Environmental Protection Agency+1

Natural Gas Rises Further to 3-Year High
2025-12-03 18:57
US natural gas futures rose to a three-year high of $4.95/MMBtu in early December, soaring 65% since the lows from mid-October amid a backdrop of soaring export demand.

European countries extended their shun of Russian natural gas and confirmed the complete phase out of Russian LNG by the end of 2027.

This coincided with fresh evidence that US LNG exports rose 40% annually in November to 10.7 million tonnes, even though producers continued increasing output.

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/natural-gas/news/507055

 

Trump is pushing hard to build even more LNG exporting facilities. Which will tend to keep natural gas prices higher in the USA. And to keep those prices high, he's trying to shut down Russia's LNG exports.

 

EU to ban Russian LNG imports under pressure from Trump

EU sources confirmed on Friday that the European Union intends to ban Russian LNG imports a year sooner than originally planned as part of the 19th package against Moscow. This change was reportedly prompted by President Donald Trump's pressure.

When it presents its package to EU envoys on Friday, the European Commission, which is the executive branch of the bloc's 27 members, will propose to bring the ban forward until Jan. 1, 2027. In general, sanctions must be approved by the majority of EU member states.
