My new post: come, hear the story of Trump’s new fuel-economy standards! It is a quintessentially Trumpian tale, beginning in petty malice, continuing through jaw-dropping incompetence, culminating in a rule that will increase pollution & fuel costs. vox.com/energy-and-env…
I realize fuel-economy standards rolled out on Tuesday, which is like a decade ago, but you should still read my piece on the story behind them, which is jaw-dropping, even if your expectations of the administration are already rock bottom.
I mean ... this is the administration's *own analysis* of its fuel economy rule. It spent months massaging the numbers & this is the best it could do. nytimes.com/2020/03/31/cli…
