Clean Car Rule Makes History—But Auto Dealers Try to Turn Back the Clock
Don't Let Auto Dealers Sell Us a Lemon!
The historic new fuel efficiency standards for cars and light trucks that President Obama announced this summer will cut America’s oil dependence, curb global warming emissions, and create nearly 500,000 new jobs. So why are automobile dealers opposing them?
The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) is already in Washington, DC, trying to get Congress to stop this proposal from taking effect.
The proposed standards of 54.5 mile per gallon by 2025 would deliver the following benefits to the American economy:
-
Cut America's oil dependence by 1.5 million barrels per day—equal to what the United States currently imports from Saudi Arabia and Iraq combined.
-
Cut global warming emissions by as much as 280 million metric tons (MMT) in 2030—which is equivalent to the annual emissions of 72 coal-fired power plants.
-
Save American consumers $50 billion in 2030 alone—even after paying for the cost of fuel-saving technology.
-
Create nearly 500,000 new jobs—both inside and outside the auto industry.
