1 week agoEPA ends credits for automatic start-stop vehicle ignition, a feature Zeldin says everyone hates'
The Environmental Protection Agency announced an end Thursday to credits to automakers who install automatic start-stop ignition systems in their vehicles, a device intended to reduce emissions that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said everyone hates. In remarks with President Donald Trump on Thursday at the White House, Zeldin called start-stop technology the Obama switch and said it makes vehicles die at every red light and stop sign. He said the credits, which also applied to options like improved air conditioning systems, are now over, done, finished.

Two of the panel's members told Nature they plan to continue the work independently.
