Regardless of admin political affiliation the reasoning is all the same: stupidity. The govt cannot and will not be successful in creating artificial demand by imposing higher CAFE on automakers. Cars will simply become more expensive and the more fuel efficient cars people are obviously not buying enough of aren't going to sell any more than they already have. Correcting a problem like this requires a fundamental shift in sourcing from resources not product.
