Can’t Trump just sign an EO and kill this?

No. States rights.
Consumers must kill it.
[they]'ll kill this initiative [them]selves just by passing this b.s. in those States. I believe this is the beginning of the set up of the dual economy theory. We're gonna see these ultra woke, Uber liberal States enact these "green initiate" legislation and then watch as thos states crumble to dust in just a few short years. Then we get to come in, have our "we tried telling you idiots this would happen" moment, and then get to work fixing the damage. So I say let [them] do it. Keep spreading the word out, but don't try too hard. Don't wear yourselves out with it. It won't take all that long for these states to completely fall apart. 3-7 yrs max is my best estimate.
legitimate question because I'm ignorant
is there any other item or substance banned in some states but allowed in others that isn't banned at the federal level and "unbanned" at the state level?
I don't mean "so highly regulated they might as well be banned"
I mean banned, as the title suggests.
Does that not have implications on interstate commerce?
Lots of stuff in Cali..plastic straws plastic bags at grocer...different gas engines in cars out there
They got something going on w diesel trucks too
While it does have implications on interstate commerce, think abortion. Legally placed in the control of the states by SCOTUS after 50 years of being declared a Constitutional right. Legal in some states, not in others. An EO just won't cut it.
Not that any of this matters since the US is no longer a nation under rule of law.
Nothing like dooming your own state to a complete shit economy overall. Americans love their gas guzzlers. Why the dems so stoopid... from another planet or something?
They are obviously not concerned w citizens at all
They better get busy building those coal fired power plants so they can charge the things.
Welcome to Communist Cuba.
Did you know that a hybrid is considered a zero emissions electric car? Why? Because generators are not regulated by the EPA for emissions.
I decided to ask Chat and his answer is pretty good.
The authority of a President to directly end electric vehicle (EV) mandates in states is limited. EV mandates are typically implemented through state-level regulations or legislation, and the power to enact or rescind such mandates primarily lies with state governments rather than the federal government.
However, a President could indirectly influence the situation through various means:
Executive Orders: While a President cannot directly overturn state laws or regulations, they can issue executive orders that may impact federal policies related to EVs, such as fuel efficiency standards or federal incentives for EV adoption.
Federal Funding: The President could influence federal funding allocations, grants, or incentives related to EVs, which might indirectly affect the implementation or continuation of state-level mandates.
Advocacy and Persuasion: Presidents often use their platform to advocate for certain policies or priorities. A President could publicly express opposition to state-level EV mandates and attempt to persuade state governments to reconsider or repeal them.
Legal Challenges: In some cases, the federal government may challenge state laws or regulations in court if they believe they conflict with federal law or constitutional principles. However, this approach would likely face significant legal hurdles and may not be successful.
Ultimately, while a President can exert influence on the broader conversation surrounding EV mandates, the ability to directly end such mandates in states is limited by the principles of federalism, which grant significant autonomy to state governments in matters of regulation and legislation.
They don't call it, "The Precipice," for nothing.
