SaysWho? Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 EPA restores California's authority to set its own auto pollution rules WWW.LATIMES.COM Reversing a Trump move, the EPA will allow California to set emissions standards stricter than the federal government's. But court fights may get in the way. Quote The Biden administration on Wednesday reinstated the state's authority to set motor vehicle pollution standards stricter than the federal government's. That includes tighter restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. The decision, announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, reverses an attempt by the Trump administration to block the state from using its vast market power to push the auto industry in a greener direction. The 2019 revocation of its waiver from the federal standard put California and the states that follow its lead on pollution limits into regulatory limbo, casting a mood of uncertainty across the automobile industry. "This is truly important," EPA Administrator Michael Regan told The Times. "Not just for the people in California but for the nation as a whole. We are proudly reaffirming California's longstanding authority to lead in this area." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
