Automakers Claim Obama Mileage Requirements Give Little Thought To Consumer Or Economy
Major automakers escalated a fight to delay or
revise the Obama administration's ambitious targets for cutting vehicle
greenhouse gas emissions through 2025, saying in prepared testimony made
public on Wednesday that low gas prices and weak demand for electric
vehicles may require significant revisions to the rules.
The issue is not whether vehicle fuel economy will improve,
Mitch Bainwol, head of the industry trade group Alliance of Automobile
Manufacturers, said in testimony to be delivered on Thursday to a U.S.
House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, "but rather how will
automakers meet the aggressive standards currently in place, by when and
at what cost to consumers, industry and the economy as a whole?"
