This battle isn't about who will win, because all the automakers can do is lose — instead it's about Trump's addiction to political theater.
The automakers, who don't want to build cars for two markets, are caught in the middle.
But now the administration has declared that it's our way or else, walking away from negotiations. The auto industry, and American consumers, are the losers: the industry because it could have to waste money building cars to a dual US standard; and consumers because they'll be denied more economical, technologically advanced vehicles.
fuel-economy standards or risk President Donald Trump's wrath by siding with California's stringent emissions requirements,"Trump's views on the US auto industry are childish and intended only to rally his supportersCalifornia has long held a waiver from the EPA to set it own, more aggressive emissions targets, and 13 other states have followed.
Worse, they understand that the whole thing isn't about some injustice that California is imposing on the rest of country; the Golden State has been dealing with smog problems since the middle of the 20th century, and the waiver dates to the Clean Air Act of 1970. Automakers have been living with California's de facto national standard for literally decades. It's baked into their entire, multi-trillion-dollar business.
The only explanation for Trump doing this that it fits into the administration's addiction to chaotic theater.
