Climate change is a public health crisis, and we need every doctor, nurse, and other health professional to help fight it.
One-third of all Americans live in areas that suffered through at least 100 days of poor air quality due to air pollution in 2018, according to a new report by Environment America Research & Policy Center, Frontier Group and U.S. PIRG Education Fund.
Last week, the EPA said California was doing too much to cut auto emissions. This week, it says California is not doing enough to cut air pollution, putting California in a no win situation.
Donald Tramp has revoked California’s waiver under the Clean Air Act that allows it to set emissions standards that are tougher than federal guidelines. Expect this issue to wind up in the courts very soon.
The US government has put car companies on notice that if they dare oppose the president’s plan to roll back fuel economy standards, they will be accused of antitrust violations.
The state of Colorado recently passed a low-emission vehicle (LEV) standard to start with the 2022 vehicle model year. Jeremy Neustifter, an air quality planner with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, answered some questions about this for CleanTechnica.
NY state will phase out hydrofluorocarbons, unlike Trump’s EPA.
The EPA has stated its intent to freeze Obama-era fuel efficiency standards at the 2020 levels. This could be a disaster for the industry the EPA is supposedly trying to help. Due to a waiver to enforce their own air standards, California may just be able to save the US auto industry from itself. To understand what that means, we need to look at some history first.
While the US has every reason to be proud of its efforts to clean up the skies over America, the process is one that requires continuous vigilance. The efforts of the Trump administration to roll back a broad spectrum of clean air regulations has many concerned the gains made in the past 50 years could be lost.
