Some carmakers and energy executives say the plan would trigger costly litigation and spur individual states to create a patchwork of tighter rules.

The problem is that those patchworks mean that it becomes very hard to sell a single product to everybody, since you need to comply with a huge number of local rules. That’s really bad for both business and for consumers — it means that you have fewer options available to you as a consumer, at a higher price, and end up living a not-as-good life.
The new model won’t have businesses and consumers. It will be the monarch and subject-slaves, the “state” will be the only company. It’s not feasible, profoundly stupid even, but that’s the direction we are heading.
