When environmental protection agency Announced This will happen Roll back rules aimed at curbing Greenhouse gas emissions – especially from motor vehicles – postponed annual savings for Americans of $ 54 billion. The EPA stated that ending the policies of the biden-era, which encouraged high fuel efficiency standards to adopt cars and electric vehicles, which would be able to hold cheap options when buying a car “to limit telpipe emissions, to limit telpipe emissions.
But the agency reviews its CBS News Regulatory impact analysis The proposal found that gasoline prices will increase, and about one and a half million jobs will be lost by 2035 For data from US Energy Information AgencyWhich was quoted in the EPA report.
Cost of gasoline
In July analysis of EPAThe US Energy Information Administration, which collects and analyzes energy data, showed the policies of the biden-era, which was adopted by the end of 2024, dramatically will reduce the future cost of gasoline as more consumers will be driving electric vehicles, hybrids and fuel-skilled cars that require less gas.
It is challenging to predict future gas prices because they are subject to high uncertainty and market instability, But under a future scenario where the policies of biden-era have been canceled under the Trump Administration, EIA Projects Gasoline prices will continue to rise due to high demand for gas-powered cars and fuel.
Former EIA administrator, Joseph Decarolis, explained in an email that if the government “disintegrates the purchase of electric vehicles, more consumers will purchase gasoline vehicles, resulting in high gasoline consumption and high gasoline prices for all.”
He said, “There is a clear cause relationship between measures promoting electric vehicles, such as EPA telpipe standards and the projection of high gasoline prices,” he said.
When asked in an interview with CBS News, “The Techout with Major Gart”, how the plan can increase gas prices, Zeldin did not directly address the question.
Instead, he argued that previous policies such as an electric vehicle mandate cost the dollar costs to regulate climate pollution, saying that the policies were “out of existence, out of existence, the entire areas of our economy and especially our energy economy.
“It is important that we are implementing general knowledge,” Zeldin said, “that we are cognitive about these economic demands and wherever possible, when we can protect the environment and increase the economy that we will choose both.”
Neither Biden nor the Obama administration implemented the EV mandate, although both encouraged EV adoption by Americans and businesses.
Zeldin reiterated the stance of the Trump administration that the EPA does not have the power to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act until an Act of the Congress changes.
“My message here is: If the Congress wants the EPA to regulate Hek out of carbon dioxide, then it is fine, they can put it inside the law,” Zeldin said.
Effect on fuel efficiency
Along with returning the greenhouse gas emission standards to limit telpy emissions, EPA will also cancel fuel efficiency measures.
According to EIA data, a new standard gas-managed car was expected to get 47.1 miles per gallon by 2027, and by 2035, cars were expected to get 61.2 MPG by 2027.
Without biden policies, the model 2027 cars are considered to meet the 43.6 MPG standard and gradually increase to 50.5 mpg by 2035.
Light trucks and SUVs, starting in the model year 2027, under a scenario, where the biden policies are canceled by the Trump administration, is set to reach the fuel efficiency of 27.2 MPG and increase to 28.6 MPG by 2035. Biden policies were expected to meet SUVs and Light trucks in 2027 in 2027.
Loss of future job
EIA’s own data It is estimated that a future landscape-where the biden-Obama emission standards are canceled-There will be a loss of 450,000 jobs by 2035. Jobs will begin to rebound by 2045, but is not enough to overcome significant damage in the last decades.
“The drivers will pay thousands of dollars more at the cost of fuel and maintenance on the life of a vehicle,” said Peter Huther, Senior Transport Research Associate at the American Council for a Energy-skilled Economy, and the business Trump can lose billions annually from the high trucking costs as a result of the camping costs.
“This cost will wave through the economy, increase prices for everyday goods and reduce the increase in jobs,” Huther said.
