To the editor:
Not only does the Trump administration diss sound scientific advice by its own Environmental Protection Agency scientists regarding fuel economy rules for cars, it doesn’t even bother to offer a plausible explanation.
Saying that more fuel-efficient vehicles will lead people to drive more and thus have more accidents is as dumb as claiming that carpooling and mass transportation are bad because more people would be killed in accidents.
The administration’s environmental policies are not just appalling, but an incredible waste of time that is desperately needed to bolster fuel-efficient cars and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s more obvious each day that big polluters didn’t install these anti-science Republicans into office because they were hard-working geniuses, but really.
