Trump Administration To Revoke California's Power To Set Auto Emissions Standards

Summary from the AllSides News Team

The Trump Administration plans to revoke California's power to set stricter air pollution standards for cars and trucks. The Administration says that only the federal government can set fuel standards, according to the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act. California has been relying on a special waiver to set its own emissions standards. This may lead to court battles over the next few years.
