Companies Joining Trump’s Attempts To Destroy Our Environment Face “Serious Reputational Damage”
From Forbes:
There’s a potential risk for automakers that have aligned themselves with President Trump’s attempts to roll back current fuel economy standards that were established under President Obama. A new poll of owners of General Motors vehicles found that when people learned that GM sided with Trump (i.e., signed on to a lawsuit against California’s ability to set its own fuel economy standards), they turned against the company and the company suffered “serious reputational damage.”
Ford, Volkswagen, Honda and BMW made their own voluntary agreement with California last year to keep increasing the average fuel economy of their vehicles to an average of almost 50 mpg by 2026.
The Union of Concerned Scientists’ (UCS) poll has released a number of highlights from the GM owners it spoke to, but here one of the takeaway numbers: GM’s favorability fell from 93 to 44 percent when the GM owners learned the company was fighting against California’s fuel-economy-setting authority.
93 to 44 percent?? That’s quite a plunge. Apparently, most people have a deep penetrating hatred for a presidential administration that is deliberately ruining our environment, and forcing progressive states like California to join in the assault.
