This happened two days ago, but it isn't being talked about enough. American car makers might only be selling in domestic markets soon.

Specifically, the agency eliminated the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding published during the Obama Administration, thus removing federal greenhouse gas emission standards for all model-year 2012 to 2027 and beyond vehicles, the agency announced via a press release.

"The U.S. ceasing regulation of greenhouse gases is, in fact, unlikely to have a major impact on automaker R&D spending as no other major car market is lowering or eliminating standards, so automakers will still need to invest in technologies to meet those requirements in order to sell outside the U.S."

It’s not clear how automakers will respond to this deregulation, as they all operate globally and the U.S. accounts for just one, albeit big, market.

We need a better president and house of representatives. No wonder it's so fucked up if you've been gone three years. Get on it and get this fixed ASAP, please.

On it boss! I'll get a house full of rats and a twig for a president. That's gotta be better for sure

Make sure the twig ... Uhhmm... I hope those rats are... Sighhhh. I got nothing. This timeline truly is the worst timeline. Like, my beard only grows into a goatee now.
