The BBC and many other sources report:
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 told BBC Radio 4's Costing the Earth: "There will be a serious threat to the US auto industry.

I worked on his Santa Cruz County primary campaign in 1992. He won Santa Cruz but lost the state.
