Oh, I agree. I was simply pointing out that as long California has it's stricter emissions rules, it doesn't matter what the EPA regulates since automakers will build to the California market since it is so large.

If they remove the exception for California, now the weaker EPA rules are what automakers can work towards. This probably saves the auto manufacturer money.

If they Trump administration has a defining principle, it's the removal of regulations.
