What Trump’s CAFE rollback means for cars and climate.

The Trump administration announced on Wednesday that it’s relaxing the fuel economy standards for cars and light trucks — a move that will strike a blow against electric vehicle manufacturing and in turn former President Joe Biden’s climate legacy. POLITICO’s Alex Guillén breaks down the details of the move and the impact on the auto industry and climate. Plus, the National Petroleum Council issued reports to Energy Secretary Chris Wright calling for quicker permitting for energy projects and greater coordination between the nation’s natural gas and electric systems.
