States are planning to meet climate goals even after President Trump revoked California's authority to enforce stricter emissions standards. Seventeen states relied on California's Clean Air Act waivers to adopt their own vehicle pollution rules. Following the revocation, California, among others, sought a court injunction, asserting that the waivers should not be subject to congressional review. As the legal situation evolves, these states are enhancing their electric vehicle transition efforts, including increasing rebates and enforcing stricter carbon intensity regulations. The transportation sector significantly contributes to emissions, making these initiatives crucial.
"Climate change is still around, whether we have the waiver or not. So we have to figure out ways to make sure that we're doing what we can to address the problem at hand."
"Seventeen states relied on California's Clean Air Act waivers to adopt stronger vehicle pollution rules on their own, including New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Massachusetts, and Washington."
