(The Center Square) – Congressional review of California car and truck standards waivers approved by the Biden administration appears set to effectively quash three rules, including the 2035 gas car ban.
The Environmental Protection Agency led by Administrator Lee Zeldin said it is following the law in sending the waivers. Twelve states and the District of Columbia would be subsequently impacted.
“The Biden administration failed to send rules on California’s waivers to Congress, preventing members of Congress from deciding on extremely consequential actions that have massive impacts and costs across the entire United States,” Zeldin said in an EPA release. “The Trump EPA is transparently correcting this wrong and rightly following the rule of law.”
Michael Regan was previously the leader of the EPA from 2021-24. It is unclear if the previous administration approved the waivers at the last minute to meet California’s request while understanding the rules could be rejected by the incoming majority-Republican Congress. read more
Commiefornia should never have been given special rights to set any car standards. The cal air resources board is one of the most vile group of people on the planet. Add in the coastal commission and the public utilities crooks and it’s obvious why it’s called commiefornia.
Predictable.
I couldn’t see a Chicano rolling down L.A. with his ball Cap Tilted, heavy gold chains, & a Slammed EV spraying 9mm’s into stores.
Cali’s got much bigger problem than just another law no one will pay attention to. If they don’t do something to reverse the employers in the state of personally paying for Gavin’s default on that big ass Federal Loan every employer in this state will be a memory within two year. No biz can survive an addition 28% tacked onto they’re payroll. And it could go 58%. I’m sure Gavin will be glad to see us go.

From the article:
“It is unclear if the previous administration approved the waivers at the last minute to meet California’s request while understanding the rules could be rejected by the incoming majority-Republican Congress.”
No, it is perfectly clear; the Biden EPA approved the waivers at the last minute, thinking they would get lost in the shuffle of a new Congress and a new administration taking over government.
When you quash a waiver on a ban I get confused. Whahoppin?
50-years in: no more special rules and waivers.
