unser täglicher Irrsinn alla Elon und Trump geht in die nächste Runde.

US-UMWELTSCHUTZBEHÖRDE MIT BEMERKENSWERTEM VORSTOSS
Wird das Start-Stopp-System in den USA verboten?

"Alle hassen es": Ausgerechnet die Umweltschutzbehörde der USA denkt an eine Abschaffung des Start-Stopp-Systems in Autos. Das verkündete jetzt deren neuer Chef.

Deshalb hat Elon ein Interesse die EPA als nutzloses absurdes Institut darzustellen....

The EPA cracked down on Tesla and SpaceX. Then Elon Musk and DOGE took over.
Elon Musk’s companies have been accused of breaking bedrock environmental laws in the US. Now, DOGE is gutting the federal agency that enforces those laws.
DOGE hits the EPA
Musk and Trump have been candid about why they want to kneecap federal regulators. They’re businessmen and they want to save money.
“If you deregulate, like have sensible regulations, because a lot of the regulations are nonsensical and cause the cost to be extreme for no reason,” Musk said while speaking with Trump during an X interview on August 12th.
Elon Musk shelled out big bucks for Trump’s presidential campaign, giving more than $250 million. Soon after, he was leading DOGE’s crusade “to cut the federal government down to size” — culling the federal workforce, including at the EPA. “A drastic reduction in federal regulations provides sound industrial logic for mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy,” Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy wrote in their plans for DOGE published in the Wall Street Journal in November.
The EPA was one of the first agencies targeted by DOGE. Little more than a week after Trump’s inauguration, 1,100 probationary employees at the EPA received a “notice” by email telling them the agency “has the right to immediately terminate you.” A federal judge later ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands of laid off federal workers.
“When you cut staff, you will get less work done. It is as simple as that.”
But more drastic cuts could be on the way, and an even slimmer staff would only make it harder to take up new cases. Trump and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin have floated the idea of slashing the EPA’s budget by 65 percent.
Yesterday, a day before Earth Day, EPA staff received a notice obtained by The Verge saying that the agency is planning another reduction in force. The staffing cuts would take effect on July 31st, the document says, and comply with Trump’s executive orders to end diversity and equity programs and implement his “Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative.”
“When you cut staff, you will get less work done. It is as simple as that,” says Walter Mugdan, a former deputy regional administrator at the EPA and a volunteer with the Environmental Protection Network created by alumni of the agency. “I would anticipate that therefore, there will be fewer enforcement actions being initiated and fewer enforcement actions being completed.”
Trump and the rest of his team, of course, have their own deregulatory agenda at play. “Environmental [regulation] is the biggest tool for stopping growth ... it costs much more to do things environmentally clean,” Trump said in an October 25th interview with Joe Rogan.
Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for Trump’s return, calls for eliminating the EPA’s stand-alone Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance and diffusing its work across several other departments. Breaking up the team that leads enforcement cases will make it more difficult for the EPA to enforce regulations, Larry Starfield, who served as the principal deputy assistant administrator of EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance from 2011 to 2023, and other experts, tell The Verge. The Trump administration has already made plans to eliminate the agency’s scientific research and environmental justice offices.
March 12th marked “the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,” EPA administrator Lee Zeldin boasted. That day, the EPA announced more than 30 proposals to roll back protections against mercury, toxic air pollutants, soot, wastewater, chemicals, greenhouse gas emissions, and other kinds of pollution.

Studie: Deutschland drängt Unternehmen zu umweltschädlichen SUV statt zu E-Fahrzeugen
[...]
„Viele Regierungen in Europa – vor allem die großen Länder wie Deutschland – haben eine Steuerpolitik für Autos, die schlecht für das Klima und die Zukunft unserer Automobilindustrie ist und reichen Autofahrern noch mehr Vorteile für die Umweltverschmutzung verschafft“, sagt Stef Cornelis, Direktor für Elektroflotten bei T&E
