From WSJopinion: The Trump administration’s fight with auto makers over clean-car standards is unnecessary, writes EnvDefenseFund president FredKrupp
By Fred Krupp Sept. 9, 2019 6:37 pm ET The Trump administration’s fight with auto makers over clean-car standards is unnecessary. Only a decade ago, state and national leaders, environmental advocates and auto executives came together to compromise for the common good. Their 2009 clean-car agreement put the U.S. on a path to less climate pollution, greater savings at the pump and the regulatory certainty that auto makers need to manage long-term capital investment.
At this point, several auto companies forged an alternative path. Since much of the world, including Canada, Asia and Europe, is demanding cleaner vehicles, four auto makers agreed with California in July on voluntary principles that would reduce pollution and provide the certainty and stability car makers need.
Now the Trump administration is trying to stop them with everything it can muster. This includes an antitrust investigation and a challenge from the Transportation Department and the Environmental Protection Agency to states’ authority to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions outright.
