Excerpt:

The Trump administration is bringing an end to many eras for the Democrats. It has brought an end to their open border policies, an end to getting away openly with fraud and abuse, and an end to their climate craze ideology. Among the many wins though the Trump administration has accrued over time, one new one stands out above the rest. One is a win for sanity, normalcy, cars and people’s wallets all in one.

That would be the elimination of the Obama-era auto start and stop feature that was forced onto vehicles. Every vehicle essentially post-2010 has been fitted with sensors, computers and features all in some obscene hope to “save the climate.” In reality, all these features have done is make once reliable vehicles unreliable, a rise in maintenance costs and an overall frustration for drivers. Sure, there is a button to turn it off. But the cars should never have had them to start. …

Marc Morano of the Climate Depot says the whole feature was nothing more than an accounting trick.

“It was dreamed up by the Obama net zero climate team to impose this on automakers to give them an incentive to this little gimmick,” he says.

“Automakers should be forced with the money they made from the stupid incentives to come up with a plan to remove these, at the dealership expense, from these cars saddled with it,” says Morano. “I do not expect that, but perhaps there will be a universal system where you can disable it in all cars.”

“This is a win for common sense, it is a win for engineering…it is a win for logic, because studies show it was not a perceptible impact on fuel savings,” Morano says.
