The hazards of gas stoves were flagged by the industry — and hidden — 50 years ago
Utilities knew about the danger of indoor air pollution in 1972 and downplayed it, a DeSmog investigation found.

Gas is nearly $4.50 a gallon, so what’s Trump’s answer? Let automakers build less efficient cars—meaning your family has to make more trips to the pump and pay even more to get to work.  Everything he does is at your expense.

Trump says new fuel economy rules will cut car prices. Analysts are doubtful.
In rolling back fuel efficiency standards, the administration said the average new vehicle price in 2031 should be reduced by $1,300.
