8:50Now PlayingTrump’s EPA just rolled back clean car standards that were set to save drivers around $6,000 over the lifetime of a vehicle in fuel and maintenance costs.
Today, a coalition of environmental groups and state Attorneys General filed a lawsuit to stop it, arguing the rollback is illegal, anti-science, and a gift to oil executives at the expense of regular people.
In this video, I break down:
• What the “Clean Cars” standards actually were
• How much money drivers stand to lose if this rollback stands
• Why even some automakers opposed this chaos
• How this lawsuit could hit pause on Trump’s attempt to drain your wallet at the gas pump
This isn’t a culture war. It’s an extraction scheme.
