The Trump administration doesn’t care about your family’s health and safety. They do not have a plan to protect you & the people you care about from dangerous pollution, extreme weather events & the worsening climate crisis.

We are thrilled to announce that Meghan Sahli-Wells has joined our Better World Group as our new Strategic Advisor!

Trump wants to cancel the bare minimum federal standards for new cars and trucks. Here’s what that costs:
⛽ Thousands of $$$ in extra gas and maintenance over the lifetime of your new car
😷 Higher risk of cancer and chronic disease
⛈️ More climate change-related natural disasters

Clean Air Tools Support a strong statewide Indirect Source Rule through AB 914 to protect vulnerable communities from harmful diesel pollution and defend local clean air progress.

5 of the 10 most soot-polluted U.S. cities are in #CA!
Diesel pollution from ports fuels asthma, ER visits, and missed school days.

#SB34 would block clean air protections when we need them most.

Tell lawmakers: VOTE NO on #SB34

@carb-chair.bsky.social and @airresources.bsky.social are steadfast in their commitment to clean air. We need our state leaders to stand up to Trump and corporate polluters, not attack local clean air protectors.

.@McKinsey predicts electric trucks will be cheaper to operate than diesel within this decade. So why are manufacturers fighting regulations they agreed to? Higher profit margins on diesel, with the cost passed along to consumers. Craig Segall explains in @thehill:

"Running our entire freight system on 20th-century technology is not good for anyone." The Senate's CRA vote on Friday threatens to lock in outdated technology AND buck legal precedent, ignoring Senate rules. Craig Segall explains in @thehill: thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Truck manufacturers are maneuvering to kill Biden’s landmark clean-truck rules Though truck manufacturers including Volvo and Daimler agreed to the rules in 2023, they have since been working behind the scenes to kill them.

Truck makers like Volvo & Daimler are lobbying to help kill CA’s clean truck rules. “Multi-billion dollar companies would rather not spend their money right now…even if it means the entire U.S. freight sector falls behind.”—says Craig Segall, former CA air regulator, The Hill.

The failure of California’s local air districts to adopt meaningful ISR regulations undermines their credibility in telling EPA to do more about trucks, ships, trains & planes. It also violates “all feasible measures” requirement in state Clean Air Act.

Eliminating states’ #CleanerCars & #CleanerTrucks standards will:
⛽ Force Americans to pay more for gas
😷 Harm air quality and health
🛠️ Cede auto manufacturing leadership to other countries

Op-ed: Let’s choose clean trucks over fake fear Recently, skeptics of electric vehicles are sounding false alarms trying to promote legislation to delay the Advanced Clean Trucks rule from taking effect.

State leaders, including @GovernorHochul, must stand up to the coordinated misinformation campaign from truck makers and special interests to rollback New York’s life-saving clean truck standards. Read more from @AdvEnergyUnited:

Lawmakers, Environmental Justice, and Clean Air Advocates Call on Governor Hochul to Stand Strong for Clean Air Protections State leaders rally in Albany to urge the Governor to protect the life-saving clean truck standard in final budget and reject industry efforts to gut air protections

ICYMI: On Wednesday, clean air advocates and lawmakers rallied in Albany to support New York’s life-saving clean truck standard. With clean air under attack, this is not the time for New York to cave to polluter misinformation. Read more:

📣 We are joining legislators, clean air advocates, and community members in Albany today to demand that our state leaders protect clean air and keep New York’s life-saving standards in place.

I get the overuse of the “Recrudescence” meme throughout the past three months, but I did not see the return of Herbert Hoover’s highly protectionist and terribly failed trade policies from the 1930s.

Without federal #EV tax credits, 29–72% of U.S. battery manufacturing capacity may be unneeded—risking closures, layoffs, and lost innovation as other nations surge ahead in the clean energy race. #CleanerCars #RouteZero zenodo.org/records/1500...

📣 New Yorkers deserve clean air! Over 30+ New York organizations are calling on @govkathyhochul.bsky.social & state leaders to protect NY’s authority to adopt life-saving clean truck standards. NY can’t bend to polluter interests – keep our clean truck standards in place!
