Trump rolling back ‘trillion dollars' of Dem green car regulations
A trillion dollars worth of Obama-era greenhouse gas regulations for cars, trucks, and engines will be axed this year, along with the unpopular stop-start feature in vehicles, EPA boss Lee Zeldin plans to announce Tuesday. The EPA proposal to repeal the 2009 'Endangerment Finding' represents a major rollback of US climate action, and follows President Trump's Day One Executive Order, 'Unleashing American Energy.' It will be released for public comment before going into effect later this year. EPA boss Lee Zeldin is set to announce the proposal Tuesday. REUTERS 'With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end 16 years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers,' said EPA Administrator Zeldin. 'Stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent, and warped science to . . . stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year.' Zeldin claims the repeal will save Americans as much as $50 billion annually on cheaper cars by slashing greenhouse gas emissions standards on vehicles, including the Biden electric vehicle mandate. He was set to unveil the proposal in Indianapolis Tuesday with Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, Indiana Governor Mike Braun, Attorney General Todd Rokita, Rep. Jim Baird, the Indiana Motor Truck Association, and the National Automobile Dealers Association. 'We heard loud and clear the concern that EPA's greenhouse gas emissions standards themselves, not carbon dioxide which the Finding never assessed independently, was the real threat to Americans' livelihoods,' said Zeldin. 'If finalized, rescinding the Endangerment Finding and resulting regulations would end $1 trillion or more in hidden taxes on American businesses and families.' The repeal of the Endangerment Finding likely will face fierce legal challenges from blue states and climate activists. Another obstacle is the fact that Congress codified greenhouse gases as pollutants in 2022 in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

TelevisaUnivision Cuts Expenses to Boost Q2 Profit Amid Dips in Ad, Subscription Revenue
Spanish-language giant TelevisaUnivision said it had to rely on trimming expenses to boost second-quarter profit as the company faces a decline in overall ad revenue as well as monies from subscriptions and licensing. The owner of the Univision broadcast network said net income increased handily as it worked to cut operating costs and general and administrative expenses. Since CEO Daniel Alegre joined last year, TelevisaUnivision has been working to streamline operations that had previously been siloed by geographic.

Revenue was off 4%, to $1.21 billion. 'This quarter reflects meaningful progress across our business, driven by a reimagined content strategy that's beginning to show strategic payoff,' said Daniel Alegre, in a prepared statement. 'By taking a holistic view of our investments—across premium scripted, live sports, and multiplatform content—we're seeing stronger performance and deeper audience engagement.' TelevisaUnivision has been working to bolster its balance sheet after Alegre took its corporate reins of TelevisaUnivision from Wade Davis, the former Viacom CFO who orchestrated a buyout of Univision in 2020 before merging it with Mexico's Grupo Televisa in 2022, ceded his CEO role to him. Alegre was president and chief operating officer of Activision Blizzard, which was acquired for $69 billion by Microsoft. Davis remains TelevisaUnivision's vice-chairman. The company said advertising revenue fell 5% to $742 million. U.S., advertising revenue dipped 2% to $455 million — still an improvement over the first quarter due to sports viewership. Revenue from subscriptions and licensing was flat at $443 million. Operations were boosted by consumers subscribing to the premium tiers of ViX, the company's streaming service. Even so, TelevisaUnivision faced headwinds largely due to a renewal cycle with what the company called 'a key distribution partner in Mexico.'Operating expenses decreased 9% to $812 million. The company revealed that it now has more than 10 million subscribers to ViX around the world, compared with around 7 million detailed at the end of 2023.
