Trump's EPA Reportedly Wants to Remove Limits on Tailpipe Emissions
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." A new draft plan is reportedly going to unwind the EPA's ruling that greenhouse gases are a public health issue. If passed, the federal agency's ability to enforce restrictions on automakers could be limited in the future. The plan would overturn official EPA policy that has been in place since 2009. A newly drafted plan from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), said to be days away from going public, aims to strip the agency's ability to limit greenhouse gases. According to reporting from the New York Times, the draft proposal rescinds a 2009 declaration that carbon dioxide and methane emissions are hazardous to public health. If verified and passed, such a proposal presents further headwinds to EV adoption and also removes limits on tailpipe emissions. The ruling would also affect industrial pollution, but as far as the automotive industry is concerned, it would remove carbon emission limitations as a target for automakers. With fines for CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) violations largely eliminated and federal rebates for EV purchases gone, this new change could continue to change the course of domestic car manufacturing. Long-term, such a change would limit the EPA's authority to enforce rules aimed at limiting climate change. The proposed draft is said not to argue with the science regarding greenhouse gas emissions, but rather it states that the EPA has legally overstepped its authority. It seeks to limit the EPA's ability to legislate except in specific circumstances. There are several steps to be taken before such a change occurs, not least of which are various legal hurdles. If enacted, the new plan would almost certainly face challenges from various sources. It also has to weather some form of public review. It took two years for the EPA to officially label greenhouse gases as a public health issue after a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that they were pollutants under the Clean Air Act. Unwinding this finding may take a similarly long timeline. If you are in the automaking business, however, it's fairly straightforward to see which way the winds are blowing. For the near future, investing in combustion-powered transportation is likely to be the safe bet.

NHRA And Deep Blue Launch New Initiative To Accelerate Opportunity For Women In Motorsports
Jeffrey Young, Ida Zetterström, Leah Pruett, and Laura Correnti at the Women Of NHRA Kick-off Event ... More in Sonoma. For decades, women in motorsports have been underrepresented, underserved, and under-resourced, despite proving time and again that they have the talent, grit, and determination to compete at the highest level. Now, a new partnership is aiming to change that. The National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) has teamed up with Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment to launch 'Women of NHRA,' which is a new initiative designed to elevate the league's top-tier women racers and create more commercial and fan engagement opportunities across the sport. Deep Blue, a firm dedicated to driving commercial investment in and growth opportunities for women's sports, brings deep expertise in advertising, media, and brand partnerships. Deep Blue will work to create long-term commercial value for NHRA's women athletes and maximize their influence as marketers, leaders, and women in sport. "The NHRA has a compelling story - its male and female drivers compete on the same circuit, the fastest driver on that circuit is a woman, female drivers manage their teams, work on their cars, are multi-hyphenate with experience ranging from electricians and engineers, understand and optimize to performance margins that drive success through tools like AI and machine learning, and beyond,' said Laura Correnti, Founder and CEO of Deep Blue Sports + Entertainment. 'Through strategy, storytelling, and activations we're working with the NHRA to drive commercial awareness of what makes it a compelling investment." Today, the NHRA is the premier sanctioning body for drag racing in the United States and is the largest auto racing organization in the world. The organization oversees 20 national events annually and offers competitive opportunities across all levels of the sport from youth and grassroots racing to professional competition. With more than 100 member tracks nationwide and a legacy of innovation, the NHRA has a long history of gender equity. NHRA drag racing is unique in the fact that men and women have competed head-to-head on a 1,000-foot track for decades. Today, women in NHRA have amassed an impressive resume, with more than 100 women having won at an NHRA national event and athletes like two-time Top Fuel champion Brittany Force paving the way as the fastest person in NHRA history, setting a national record of 3.62-seconds at 341.59-mph. 'Women and girls are not just out here competing. They're out here actually setting records, winning races, winning championships, winning multiple championships, and racing together with the guys,' said Ida Zetterström, NHRA driver who was recently named 'Best New Talent' by NHRA's National Dragster publication. 'People don't realize how big of a turnout we have at our events, how big our TV numbers are, that we're actually competing with the guys, and that the fastest person in the world is a woman.' Bringing Commercial Awareness And Investment To Women In Motorsports Amid the surging growth of women's sports across all levels, NHRA and Deep Blue are ensuring that women in motorsports are part of the mainstream conversation around fandom and sponsorship. Women of NHRA aims to accelerate women in motorsports and drag racing into its next era by deepening investment in women racers, unlocking new sponsorships, and growing the sport's passionate fanbase through the visibility and influence of its women athletes. 'There's a huge piece of momentum going on right now in women's sports, and I feel like we have to tell our story because these women compete and win and dominate against men on an equal playing field and do it every day and every weekend,' said Jeffrey Young, Vice President of Marketing at the NHRA. 'I want to make sure that people know that there is a sport where it's an even playing field and the women are dominant.' Women of NHRA will kick off at the NHRA Sonoma Nationals taking place July 25 - 27, 2025 at the Sonoma Raceway. Deep Blue and NHRA will host a VIP race-day experience that includes a brand summit on NHRA's growth trajectory, followed by exclusive trackside access with some of the sport's brightest stars.

Trump and Newsom have made competing claims about California gas prices. We checked the facts.
Californians are bracing for higher gas prices following an increase to the gas excise tax and regulatory changes to the state's fuel standards that went into effect on July 1. In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom's office published a series of fact checks on its website, aimed at countering what the governor has called a "concerted misinformation campaign" about the state's fuel costs. The effort comes as President Trump continues to blame California's environmental regulations and taxes for what he has described as the state's exorbitant gas prices. CBS News examined claims from the governor and president about the state's gas prices. Mr. Trump cited incorrect figures, and while Newsom's "fact checks" mostly hold up, some omit key context or rely on outdated data. Here's a breakdown of the findings. During a recent White House breakfast, Mr. Trump said, "Gas has gone to the lowest level in decades and you're seeing $1.99, $1.98. And I saw $1.95 at certain states," but in California, "You're at $6, $7, they just add taxes." Both claims are false. GasBuddy, a company that tracks gas prices nationwide, told CBS News that no state has averaged between $1.95 to $1.99 per gallon at any point this year. Auto club AAA also confirmed that no state average has fallen below $2. As for California, GasBuddy and AAA said the average price per gallon has not reached between $6 and $7 at any point this year. While individual gas stations may charge more, statewide averages have remained below that range. California's average gas price last topped $6 in October 2023, according to GasBuddy and AAA data. The state's all-time high was $6.43 on June 16, 2022, GasBuddy data shows. A White House spokesperson told CBS News that Mr. Trump's "energy agenda has restored gas prices to historic lows across the country," and argued that California and other blue states are seeing higher prices due to "radical climate policies and high taxes." On the governor's website, Newsom pushes back on a University of Pennsylvania prediction that gas prices would rise by 65 cents or more "in the near term." He argues that two policy changes that took effect in July –- an annual inflation adjustment and updates to the state's fuel standard — would likely increase prices by only a few cents per gallon. The governor is correct that the state's gas excise tax rose by 1.6 cents per gallon due to the inflation adjustment. While suppliers pay the tax, the cost is often passed on to consumers. However, Newsom cites an expert's outdated 5- to 8-cent-per-gallon figure when estimating the impact of changes to the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. That expert, Colin Murphy of the Low Carbon Fuel Policy Research Initiative at University of California, Davis, told CBS News he now estimates the impact to be around 8 to 9 cents per gallon. Still, Murphy said, an increase as large as 65 cents would require a "jaw-droppingly implausible combination of unlikely events." Newsom disputes disputes a prediction from one energy specialist that gas prices could spike to $8.43 per gallon in 2026 due to the closure of two key oil refineries in California. He said the projection, which he called "unscientific," comes from a May report by USC professor Michael Mische, whom Newsom says has ties to the oil industry and the government of Saudi Arabia. Mische noted in a statement to CBS News that his models would produce lower estimates today based on current information and other refinements to his calculations. He disputed the governor's claim that he had a conflict of interest, stating that his work for the Saudi Arabian government focused on its transition away from petroleum. Newsom cites experts from Stanford University's Institute for Economic Policy Research to support his claim that refinery closures would create negligible increases on gas prices. The analysis focused on the closure of a single refinery and found that while it would likely have little effect on gas prices, at the upper range of their estimate it could potentially raise prices by up to 15 cents per gallon. However, Reuters reported that California officials are now attempting to find a buyer for a refinery owned by Valero in Benicia, near San Francisco, to prevent its closure. The decision highlights concerns about the potential impact it could have on the fuel supply and prices. A July report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a semi-independent agency under the Department of Energy, projects a 17% loss in California's refining capacity with the closures of Valero's and Phillips 66's refineries in Benicia and Los Angeles, respectively. The agency said this supply loss won't be easily offset given the state's limited connectivity to other refinery hubs around the country. Although new state policies may help to limit price volatility, the EIA projects a "small increase" in West Coast retail gas prices next year due to the closures.
