An epic battle is brewing between the EPA and CARB. Back in 2009, the US auto industry was on the ropes. GM in particular was facing bankruptcy and Chrysler stood on the brink of going out of business altogether. Then Uncle Sugar swooped in with offers of bailouts and loan guarantees. The car companies all stood up like eager Cocker Spaniels and said, “Yes, please. We would love some of those treats you have there.” The feds said there was a catch, though. “To get the goodies, you must first agree to a new CAFE standard of 54.5 mpg by the year 2025.”
