'Bout time.

States don't have a say what manufacturers can do that's all regulated by the EPA which is Federal. The 1/3 of the states are just your typical ones who try to push all this nonsense on the rest of our country.

Ford and Chevy have already said they're going to eliminate it.

All good things - glad to see FORD and GM give it up.

True, CA can’t mandate what the automakers do and it seems they were using the registration of vehicles as leverage. They were very influential, and supported by other states so they were getting their way for a long time. The automakers even signed an agreement to meet California’s standards up to 2025/26.

Thankfully, recent rulings against CA and changes to legislation put all that on hold beyond the 2026 MY.

I don’t know if CA or any of the other states are appealing or not.

So it looks like (just about) everyone is loving these EPA rollbacks. This is a very good read and there's dozens more in the article who 100% agree this was long overdo!

Ford Motor Company spokesman Dave Tovar: “We appreciate the work of President Trump and Administrator Zeldin to address the imbalance between current emissions standards and customer choice. Ford has consistently advocated for a single, stable national standard that aligns with customer choice, the market, societal benefit, and American job growth.”

Stellantis: “Stellantis welcomes today’s decision, because it enables us to continue offering Americans a broad range of cars, trucks and SUVs — including BEVs, REEVs, hybrids and efficient internal combustion engines — that they want, need and can afford. We remain supportive of a rational, achievable approach on fuel economy standards that preserves our customers’ freedom of choice.”

Taxpayers Protection Alliance President David Williams: “After 16 long years of overregulation and unconstitutional overreach, President Trump is absolutely right to finally end the endangerment finding. The determination had given bureaucrats a blank check to enact heavy-handed regulations that impact everything from vehicle manufacturing to oil and natural gas refining and processing. It shifted enormous policymaking power from Congress to unelected officials. Today’s decision restores accountability and signals that lawmakers, not unelected bureaucrats, are in the driver’s seat… TPA applauds President Trump for putting taxpayers and consumers ahead of reckless and unaccountable bureaucrats. There is plenty more red tape to cut, and we look forward to more free-market reforms from the White House.”

CO2 Coalition Executive Director Gregory Wrightstone: “The repeal of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Endangerment Finding by Administrator Lee Zeldin is cause for celebration. The basis of this wrongheaded climate regulation put ideology ahead of science. The rule has been an impediment to economic growth, a cause of rising energy costs and a destroyer of many thousands of jobs at power plants, coal mines and manufacturing facilities. Since the 2009 enactment of the Endangerment Finding, its scientific underpinnings have been found to be even weaker than previously believed and contradicted by empirical data, peer-reviewed studies and research.”

The line that stands out for me in this is the one from Stellantis…

“…including BEVs, REEVs, hybrids and efficient internal combustion engines — that they want, need and can afford. We remain supportive of a rational, achievable approach on fuel economy standards that preserves our customers’ freedom of choice.”

Afterall, shouldn’t the buyers of cars and trucks have a choice?

That's the way it should've been all along. Not shoved down our throats with unrealistic mandates from the others. But, that was their way of trying to kill off ICE vehicles and push you into EVs.
