Oge, who served as the E.P.A.\u2019s top vehicle emissions regulator under three presidents and has since advised both automakers and environmental groups.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cNothing. Zero,\u201d she added. \u201cNot many countries have zero.\u201dTransportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gases in the United States.Car buyers could still vote with their wallets, demanding more fuel-efficient cars. California has vowed to sue to maintain stricter standards. And the Department of Transportation still regulates fuel economy under rules meant to conserve oil.But last year, the Trump administration proposed weakening the fuel economy standards to largely irrelevant levels. The Republican-controlled Congress also set civil penalties for violations at $0, essentially making them voluntary for automakers. In addition, Congress last year blocked California\u2019s clean-car rules.The bottom line is that the United States is set to stand apart from a majority of the world\u2019s industrialized nations, which have mandatory fuel economy or greenhouse gas tailpipe emissions rules. The E.P.A. still regulates tailpipe emissions of specific pollutants, like nitrogen oxides.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTThe Biden administration had sought to tighten limits on emissions to encourage automakers to sell more nonpolluting electric vehicles.The Trump administration\u2019s elimination of the endangerment finding on Thursday is expected to face fierce legal challenges from environmental groups and others. The endangerment finding was a 2009 scientific conclusion that greenhouse gas emissions pose a danger to Americans\u2019 health and welfare. It provided the foundation to justify federal regulations that limit carbon dioxide, methane and other pollution, including from cars.ImagePresident Trump on Thursday speaking about the elimination of the \u201cendangerment finding,\u201d the scientific conclusion that greenhouse gases harm human health.Credit...Tierney L. Cross\/The New York TimesIf the E.P.A.\u2019s decision holds, it could increase the country\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent over the next 30 years, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, an advocacy group.Greenhouse emissions are the main driver of global climate change, which in turn is intensifying heat waves, drought, hurricanes and floods while also melting glaciers, causing sea levels to rise.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTLee Zeldin, the E.P.A. administrator, called the end of the finding \u201cthe single largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States.\u201d He accused Democrats of having launched an \u201cideological crusade\u201d on climate change that had \u201cstrangled entire sectors of the United States economy,\u201d particularly the auto industry, which has struggled to sell electric vehicles.Climate concerns aside, it\u2019s unclear whether the U.S. auto industry will ultimately benefit from the elimination of emissions and fuel efficiency regulations. The move could leave American automakers even more dominated by gas-guzzling trucks and sport utility vehicles, experts said, as China and other nations continue to shift toward cleaner electric cars.That could leave them at a competitive disadvantage in coming years. \u201cOur automakers are not going to survive,\u201d Ms. Oge predicted.John Bozzella, the president of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which represents automakers in the United States, has declined to say whether he supports the end of the endangerment finding. But he said in a statement that the move would \u201ccorrect some of the unachievable emissions regulations enacted under the previous administration.\u201dMr. Trump has swung back and forth on his opinion of electric vehicles. During the 2024 presidential campaign, he said electric cars would \u201ckill\u201d America\u2019s auto industry. But he appeared to at least temporarily soften his stance at the urging of Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and his one-time close adviser. In March, he said he would buy a Tesla.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cGlobally, the push is in exactly the opposite direction, in the direction of electrifying vehicles,\u201d said Ann Carlson, a professor at U.C.L.A. School of Law who served under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. as acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Transportation Department agency that sets fuel efficiency standards.But now, \u201cthey\u2019re saying no standards whatsoever,\u201d she said.ImageAn electric vehicle charging at a station in a parking garage in Washington.Credit...Moriah Ratner for The New York TimesFor 17 years, the E.P.A. worked in tandem with the Department of Transportation, with the E.P.A. regulating carbon dioxide emissions (to protect health) and the Transportation Department governing how much fuel a car can burn (to conserve fuel).The endangerment finding had allowed the E.P.A. in recent years to push standards more aggressively than possible using fuel-economy rules alone, setting targets so low they would eventually have become virtually impossible for gasoline engines to meet. The E.P.A. also had the authority, for example, to issue stop-sale orders if an automaker failed to meet standards, preventing them from selling certain cars until the issue was resolved.The first Trump administration had moved to weaken both the tailpipe emissions and fuel economy standards. Mr. Biden had then reversed course, strengthening them. But now that the second Trump administration has eliminated the E.P.A.\u2019s underlying authority to regulate greenhouse gases, another reversal by a future administration could be more difficult.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT\u201cEven if a new administration came in and was inclined to regulate greenhouse gasses, it would take years to reissue and defend the endangerment finding,\u201d Professor Carlson said. \u201cAnd in the meantime, they would have no authority to write any new greenhouse gas regulations.\u201dThe remaining rules, such as the fuel efficiency requirements, could also be weakened. In December, the Trump administration proposed resetting the Transportation Department standard to require automakers to achieve an average of 34.5 miles per gallon for the full lineup of cars they sell by 2031. The Biden-era target was closer to 50 miles per gallon.Those new standards would be less stringent than those in the European Union, as well as those of countries like China, Japan and India. Congress\u2019s separate decision to eliminate fines for failure to comply with efficiency standards also makes the rules voluntary, saving automakers significant compliance costs.Any resulting shift by American automakers toward gas guzzlers that can\u2019t be sold in Europe or China could further isolate the U.S. market. And the United States would increasingly cede the future of automotive technology to Chinese electric vehicle giants like BYD, experts said.\u201cWe\u2019re an outlier now,\u201d said Joshua Linn, a professor at the University of Maryland who studies environmental policies and the transportation sector. \u201cThose larger trucks and S.U.V.s tend to make them more money,\u201d he said. \u201cBut if they want to compete in Europe or East Asia, they really need to be able to produce these E.V.s.\u201dAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTA divergence in tailpipe emissions rules could emerge domestically. California has promised a court challenge, saying the state would fight to continue to regulate greenhouse gases. Other states are expected to follow California\u2019s lead.ImageFord F-150 trucks being assembled in Dearborn, Mich. Some of American automakers\u2019 most lucrative vehicles are trucks and S.U.V.s.Credit...Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images\u201cTo have a patchwork of systems makes it really hard for companies that do business in 50 states,\u201d let alone in other countries, said Anne L. Kelly, the vice president of government relations at Ceres, an advocacy group that works with businesses on their sustainability plans. \u201cThere is no world in which this is helpful for the auto industry.\u201dMatthew Beecham, a senior research analyst at S&P Global Mobility, an automotive company, said that given the uncertainties, automakers were likely to hedge their bets. They might expand their gasoline car lineups, he said, but most likely would not abandon electrification completely.And despite no penalties for violating the remaining fuel economy standards, there was unlikely to be \u201cwholesale lawbreaking,\u201d he said, because state rules and investor scrutiny could keep companies in check. \u201cExpect tactical shifts toward profitable trucks, not open defiance,\u201d he added.AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTStill, a shift toward larger gasoline models could ultimately undermine their competitiveness in an intensifying global E.V. race. Carmakers around the world are scrambling to secure enough E.V. batteries, for example, and that race penalizes laggards, he said.While the E.P.A. continues to regulate pollutants like nitrogen oxides that pose direct threats to human health, it is now also seeking to weaken those rules.Aaron Szabo, the E.P.A.\u2019s air quality chief, wrote in an opinion article published by The Hill in December that rolling back those rules would \u201creduce red tape and bring common sense back to rulemaking.\u201d The move to roll back regulations increases choice and lowers the price of cars, he said.But vehicles that burn more fuel cost car owners more at the pump, said Daniel Becker, the director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group, in addition to the costs to the climate, public health and industrial competitiveness.The Trump administration \u201cis telling American manufacturers, \u2018You guys go build gasoline cars again,\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cThe Chinese government is telling its manufacturers, \u2018You go build the advanced vehicles that are going take over the world.\u2019\u201dMaxine Joselow contributed reporting from Washington.Hiroko Tabuchi covers pollution and the environment for The Times.
