DOT rolls back fuel economy standards
The US Department of Transportation is moving to weaken federal fuel economy standards, rolling back emissions-related efficiency requirements for cars and light trucks. The change would allow automakers to sell less efficient vehicles, reversing rules tightened under previous administrations. Critics warn it will increase fuel costs and pollution, while industry groups have long argued the stricter standards were costly and impractical.
Why now: The policy reversal has just been announced, prompting immediate debate over its climate and consumer impacts.
