A recent move by the Trump administration to roll back electric vehicle (EV) emissions standards has sparked controversy and highlighted the nation's ongoing struggle with coherent industrial policy. The proposed rollback, which would allow states to set their own emissions standards, has been met with fierce opposition from environmental groups and many in the auto industry. Critics argue that this shift would undermine the nation's ability to meet its climate goals and create a patchwork of inconsistent regulations that would stifle innovation and investment. As the world's largest economy, the US has long struggled to balance competing interests and create a unified industrial policy that prioritizes both economic growth and environmental sustainability.
