A major rollback of federal fuel-economy standards has been announced, weakening long-standing regulations designed to reduce emissions and improve vehicle efficiency. The move is expected to undermine progress on climate goals, public health benefits tied to cleaner air, and the growth of the electric vehicle market. Critics argue the decision prioritizes short-term economic gains over long-term environmental and health impacts. Automakers and environmental groups are already bracing for legal challenges and industry shifts in response.
