"The Trump administration on Thursday will move to revoke California’s authority to set its own strict tailpipe emissions rules and mandate the sale of electric vehicles, as it proposes weakening Obama-era federal fuel efficiency standards.
The proposal to roll back anti-pollution efforts, to be released early on Thursday according to one administration official, is in line with President Donald Trump’s decision last year to abandon the 2015 Paris deal aimed at slowing climate change.
It will escalate the administration’s legal battle with California and about a dozen other states that have adopted California’s emission rules, and account for about a third of the U.S. auto market."
Joseph White reports for Reuters August 2, 2018.
