(Hehe... URL "auto-makers sucking trump emissions")

In part:
The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers — afront for the Big 2.5 — has already fired off a letter to Trump’s White House transition team proposing that the new administration take a fresh look at the EPA’s proposed fuel economy standards. The companies whine that the rules are too burdensome, too expensive, too complex, and too difficult for the car companies to implement. It wants a pause in fuel economy and greenhouse rules until the new administration can “lead efforts” with regulators and automakers on “a pathway forward” for the final four years of the rules.

The letter says the rules — which become more stringent starting with model year 2017 — are a “substantial challenge” for the industry. Overall, car makers say they support greater efficiency and higher environmental goals; they just need more time. Horse puckey. (Etc. Truncated here for brevity.)
