President Biden is taking a key step toward restoring California’s ability to set its own limits on air pollution.

"The 2019 decision to revoke the state’s waiver to enforce its greenhouse gas pollution standards for cars and trucks was legally dubious and an attack on the public’s health and wellbeing," the EPA said.

In a statement released Monday, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said: “I am a firm believer in California’s long-standing statutory authority to lead. The 2019 decision to revoke the state’s waiver to enforce its greenhouse gas pollution standards for cars and trucks was legally dubious and an attack on the public’s health and wellbeing."

In September 2019, Trump announced his administration would overturn the waiver and also moved to roll back the Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, standards set under Obama. California is far and away the largest market for electrified vehicles, especially BEVs, and Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed an executive order that would begin phasing out the sale of both retail and commercial vehicles that use gas and diesel engines.

Yea. So great the moron is gone

On that note all the trillions wanted for global warming will change how many degrees? Here's your answer less than 1/4 of 1%. So where is the money going? I'd say in government's pockets. There personal piggy bank.

You meant to say TeamPelosi is telling POTUS JoeBiden that what California needs. Just like they needed millions of Covid relief funds. They can’t even manage their homeless and they want to manage their air. What a joke!

Biden is empowering California to be a totalitarian socialist state where they can control everything their residents do!
