During a trio of bill signings at the White House today, President Trump laid out a bold shift in auto and energy policy. One of the new laws strikes down California’s mandate requiring all new cars sold in the state to be zero-emission by 2035. Another targets the renewable energy sector, with Trump announcing a plan to stop new wind turbines projects.
He called California’s electric vehicle rule “outrageous,” arguing that no single state should control what kind of cars Americans are allowed to drive. Trump claimed the mandate forced automakers to juggle two different sets of rules, creating unnecessary costs and confusion. Trump said the bills he signed today would “kill the California mandates forever.”
Then, turning to wind energy, Trump ramped up his long-standing criticism of windmills — calling them “ugly,” expensive, unreliable, and often abandoned when they break down. He described the push for wind power as “one of the greatest scams,” and promised to block new projects unless deemed essential.
