Sacramento’s crusade to banish fossil fuels isn’t merely destroying jobs in California. It’s harming workers in other states too. On Thursday Chrysler parent Stellantis warned 3,600 auto workers in the Midwest that they could lose their jobs owing to California’s electric-vehicle mandate.

Stellantis said it plans to cut a shift at a Jeep plant in Detroit and adjust production at another in Toledo, Ohio, citing “the need to manage sales of the vehicles they produce to comply with California emissions regulations.” The changes, the auto maker added, would provide flexibility in the event “regulations or marketplace allows for an increase in volume” of gas-powered cars.
