Excellent write-up on the findings from @energyinnovation.org's modeling and analysis of the U.S. EPA's proposal to repeal GHG tailpipe emission standards from @justcalma.bsky.social with @vox.com and @theverge.com. www.theverge.com/news/789136/...

Allowing more tailpipe pollution means higher fuel costs for Americans

The costs of Donald Trump’s climate sabotage

theverge.com

The U.S. EPA is proposing to repeal GHG tailpipe emission standards, which would would (over 25 yrs): 🫰 Force U.S. households to pay $310B more 📉 Cut the GDP by $710 billion 👷‍♀️ Cut an average of 110,000 jobs/year 🏥 Cause 17,000 pollution-related premature deaths energyinnovation.org/report/repea...

Repealing Federal Tailpipe Emissions Standards Would Raise Household Costs, Harm Public Health, And Damage The Economy • Energy Innovation

If the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eliminates its tailpipe emissions rules as part of repealing the Endangerment Finding, it would cause massive sticker shock-- Americans would be forced to pay $310 billion more, largely due to higher gasoline prices.

How big is the slow down in US clean energy manufacturing investments? We are tracking 34 projects, $31.3B in investment and 27,949 jobs that have slowed since Trump took office. Key points from our 6-month report below highlight some surprising trends in what is advancing v slowing. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

Yeah, the rollbacks are bad – as Harry & @sarahsteinberg.bsky.social explain – but they also ID opportunities for industry growth, and share where they're optimistic about the road ahead. 🎙️ Thank you @sarahbaldwin.bsky.social @energyinnovation.org for having @advancedenergyunited.org on the show!

NEW DFP Insight: As Congressional Republicans weigh eliminating funding for the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, a majority of voters (61%) believe that the DOE should continue providing government-backed loans to invest in new clean energy technologies.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is actually One Big Expensive Bill that, if passed as is, will do major damage to the U.S. economy, harm workers and families, and put the U.S. in the backseat when it comes to global competitiveness.
