Cutting Global Warming Pollution From CarsWhat's newOn April 1, 2010, the Obama administration finalized landmark tailpipe standards that will cut global warming pollution, reduce America’s dependence on oil, and save Americans money at the gas pump. Our national federation, Environment America, worked for nearly a decade to achieve this victory—by working to pass the standards in Maine and a more than a dozen other states. These victories set the stage for President Obama’s decision last May to extend the program across the entire nation—which the administration has now finalized.
Yet, Big Oil and their allies in Congress—led by Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska—are pushing to block the Obama administration’s efforts to limit carbon pollution, including the new clean cars standards. Environment Maine is working hard to defend the Clean Air Act and defeat these attacks in Congress. Additional LinksElectric Vehicles in Maine DEP 2007 Proposed Rules |
