Rhiannon12866's JournalTrump emissions threat to US car industry
The US car industry will be wrecked if President Trump relaxes emissions standards, California's governor says.Jerry Brown said China would dominate car manufacture because it was heavily promoting the electric vehicles that would dominate the future.
He said huge investment was needed on electric vehicles, along with federal rules to encourage their purchase.
He said President Trump and US car-makers were "half asleep" and hadn't understood the scale of the challenge.
He told BBC Radio 4's Costing the Earth: "There will be a serious threat to the US auto industry.
"The Chinese have taken over the world in wind turbine production, and photovoltaic.
"They're going to take over the American car industry - and the people in Detroit are half asleep. They have to wake up - and I'm hoping they will.

The nation's top cancer doctors are asking people to drink less in an unprecedented warning
It’s not every day that a group of the nation’s top cancer doctors asks people to curb their drinking.
In a statement released Tuesday, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) outlined research tying alcohol to two types of cancer and told Americans to drink less.
“ASCO believes that a proactive stance by the Society to minimise excessive exposure to alcohol has important implications for cancer prevention,” the statement, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, said.
This is the first time the organisation has taken a stance on alcohol and cancer, but it is not the first time the research has found strong links between the two.
This summer, two major research groups found strong evidence that drinking alcohol — as little as one glass of wine or beer a day — increases the risk of developing both pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer. For that report, scientists from the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund looked at 119 studies from around the globe and incorporated data from roughly 12 million women as well as some 260,000 cases of breast cancer.
The US Department of Health and Human Services lists alcohol as a known human carcinogen. Research highlighted by the National Cancer Institute suggests that the more alcohol you drink — particularly the more you drink regularly — the higher your risk of developing cancer.
